Homework for Wednesday, Sept. 23

Assignment:  Slugville
*the title of this assignment is a copy of the worksheet
In this assignment you will need to create your own "visual" for thinking about this problem set.  The story is that three people are running for mayor all with accurate "averages," yet different from one another!  If they are all telling the truth, your job is to explain how that is possible, what information they used to determine their truth, and then ultimately which central tendency you believe is the best (fairest?) indicator.
a) Show me all of your calculations - on the page or attach another sheet of paper. Explain how the candidate determined the information they would use.
b - d) Using the actual numbers, answer the questions.
e) Select one of the central tendencies (are you running for mayor too?) and defend your choice.
f) Recalculate your original findings and write the NEW averages.
*as always (almost), you may NOT use a calculator for this assignment
Due Thursday
