Rules

•The object of the game is to be the player with the most chips at the end of the game.

Rules• You will be playing against your partner.• You each make a wager based on your

knowledge of a given topic.• After bets are made, a problem will come up

on the screen. You will have anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds to complete the problem.

• Number your problems and work them out neatly on a separate sheet of paper. (You will be turning this in.)

• Once the time is up, the correct answer will appear on the screen.

Rules• After the answer is shown you will

either collect or pay out.• Here are the scenarios:

– You both get it correct: you keep your chips.

– Only one person gets it correct: the incorrect opponent will reward the winner’s bet from his/her own stack.

– You both get it wrong: the chips go to the bank of your corresponding color.

Rules

• Once the chips exchange is complete, persons sitting in the inner circle will move to the right one seat.

• If you do not have a partner after the inner circle moves, pair up with another person without a partner.

• If there is no one to pair up with, you will play against the teacher.

Rules

• Even this game has a twist. After every second question, the bank gets robbed. One student will be randomly selected by the teacher and will collect any chips that are in the bank.

Rules• Bidding goes as follows:

– For questions 1-5 you may bet 1 to 3 chips.

– For questions 6-11 you may bet 2 to 5 chips.

– If you do not have enough chips to make the minimum bet, you must bet ALL that you have.

Rules

• What happens if you run out of chips???

GAME OVERYou will move to an empty table

outside of the circle and start working on the review practice problems.

Since the other statements are absolutes or near

absolutes, they can be discarded almost

immediately.

Question 5

• A hypothesis is checked by

• A. Research in journals• B. Drawing conclusions• C. Experimentation• D. Researching on the Internet

Answer to #5

C.ExperimentationThe sources mentioned may

give wonderful background information, but they are not

acceptable ways of evaluating a hypothesis.


Identifying Variables


Question 6• Identify the dependent variable in the

following situation
