The HW assignment due on Thursday:
  • p. 65, #5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 36 (use graph paper for any graphs, and make sure your responses are in context)
  • Ogive Worksheet #2, 1ab, 2ab (download here)
  • p. 317, #36 (“Gas Mileage”)
    Since you are not told what type of experimental design to use,carefully consider the question that the experiment will attempt to answer and what type of design is best. Spend time re-reading the problem and putting yourself into the situation before you start writing.
