2b and 2c are easy because they occur so early in the list.

3b.
2d was difficult because the example was so far down the list.

They probably counted the cases where the sons were taller than their fathers. They could have also graphed their data or found the mean of the sons and the fathers.

5a.
Anita’s reasoning is better. She counts the amount of cases. Dustin only uses one value.

5b.
Anita’s reasoning is better. Tiwanda’s numbers can be misleading if there were several very tall sons.

They collected data from a large sample. If chosen carefully, with attention to representatives, a large sample can show things about the whole population even though the whole population may be much larger than the sample.

If a sample does not represent the population fairly, the data will not give a true picture of the population.

LOG PROBLEM

If 45 people vote for Arlen Spechter in the primary out of 100, what is the probability that the next person will voter for Arlen Spechter?

Page 25

1. $2.50 x 1400 = $3,500

Page 26

2.
20% x 100 = .20 x 100 = 20
You would expect 20 cars to use the carpool lane.

3.
Low toll - 200
High toll - 800

Page 27

4a.
200 x $1.00 = $200
800 x $4.00 = $3,200

$200 + $3,200 = $3,400

4b.
$3,400/1000 = $3.40
The average toll charge per car will be $3.40

5.
200 cars x 3 = 600 carpool users
800 cars x 1 = 800 non-carpool users

600+800 = 1,400 travelers

6.
The department should make the change because there wil be 400 fewer cars on the road, which will lessen pollution and road wear and be safer.

Page 28

7.
The cars are divided according to the lane they use. The toll for all the cars in each lane is calculated. Then, all the tolls are added.

8a and 8b.

1000 cars

300 cars x $1 = $300
700 cars x $4 = $2,800

$300 + $2,800 = $3,100

Total = $3,100

8c.
$3,100/1000 = $3.10

8d.
The highway department might be interested because they could use this value to estimate the total amount of money collected for different time periods.

3b)People in the east are more in favor than people in the west. There is a higher percentage of people in the east that voted yes. 58 out of 100, 58%.

3c) Yes, there is a connection. There is a much larger percentage in favor of the bridge on the east side. 58% compared to 38.5%

Page 21

10)The test was designed in such a complicated way so that it would be easy to determine whether the repellent really works. The group whose lotion contains repellent (experimental group) can be compared to the group whose lotion does not contain repellent (the control group). It is important for people not to know which group they are in so that the results are unbiased.

11a) 200 people

11b) 41 people received repellent and were bitten anyway, 79 people received repellent and were not bitten, and a total of 120 people were given repellent.

11c)
Region 1: With repellent, 34% were bitten; without repellent 66% were bitten
Region 2: With repellent, 64% were bitten; without repellent 64% were bitten
Region 3: With repellent, 77% were bitten; without repellent 70% were bitten
Region 4: With repellent, 45% were bitten; without repellent 68% were bitten

The repellent seemed to work the best for Region 1.

12a) 16/40 = 0.4 = 40%

12b) 20/40 = 0.5 = 50%

Orange: square-12, pyramid-5, cylinder-3, total-20
Total: square-16, pyramid-9, cylinder-15, total-40

13b) Koko seems to like orange cubes better than blue cubes. (12/16 are orange; 75%)
She prefers blue cyliders as well. (12/15 = 80%)

14) The probability is 20/40 or 50% because half the blocks are orange.

15) The probability is 12/16 or 75% because 12 of the 16 cubes are orange.

16) Pyramid is the shape because there are about as many blue as orange pyramids.

Solution
2(x +3) +2x= 18

2x+6+2x=18

4x+6=18
.....-6...-6

4x=12
/4.../4

x=3

HOMEWORK - First answer is given!

Solve for the variable:
a)
5(10 -y) -5y = 10

50 -5y - 5y = 10

50 - 10y = 10
-50..........-50

-10y = -40
/-10.../-10

y = 4
