You are to answer the questions in the text first, then lookat what you have to answer what is on the template. Thisis an effort to simplify things for you; otherwise, youwould have to try and type frequency tables and stem andleaf plots etc. to turn in.
2. The following data set gives the difference between thewinning and losing scores in 50 randomly observed highschool basketball games:2, 12, 1, 2, 12, 5, 14, 2, 45, 9, 1, 8, 18, 28, 9, 4, 30, 16,4, 12, 8, 13, 20, 9, 17, 13, 49, 17, 13, 4, 14, 2, 12, 29, 8,9, 11, 4, 6, 22, 4, 20, 23, 9, 14, 11, 8, 8, 2, 8a. Make a frequency table detailing the occurrence ofeach score difference.
Once you completed this, you could then answer the question that was on
the template by looking at the frequency table. "(a) What is the frequency
score of 8?
b. Find the relative frequency of each score differenceobserved.
Make the relative frequency chart then answer the question of " what is
the relative frequency of score difference 13?
c. Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data from thisexperiment.
Once you complete this, you could then answer "Which branch of the plot
contains the most values? (0,1,2,3, or 4)by looking at your plot.
d. Develop appropriate intervals and make a histogram
for this data.Once you complete this, you could then answer "Looking at the histograph -
what are the two outliers?"

5. Discussion Questions
Under what conditions might it be appropriate to use the mean? Median? Mode?When the median and mean are substantially different, what does that tell you aboutthe data? What information does the range and standard deviation provide about thedata?
Consider responding to your classmates by providing real-life examples that supporttheir responses. Enhance their responses by providing additional details aboutmeasures of central tendency and spread.
Choose two of the following types of displays: dot plots, stem and leaf plots,histographs, pictographs, line plots, or circle graphs. In which situations is itappropriate to display data using each type you selected? When is it inappropriate touse the data displays you selected?
Respond to students who chose different displays than you. Ask clarifying questionsif you need more explanation. Are the other situations in which the type of displayyour classmates selected would be appropriate or inappropriate for the data? (HINT:look at the link in the readings list above to get help knowing how to choosethe best chart/graph).
Also, once the discussion questions have been answered adequately and you haveresponded to at least one other person, begin posting problems/questions/solutionsin the COLLABORATION thread in the main forum.

Provide any additionalinformation that might help other students understand the difference between thetwo. Ask any clarifying questions that may enhance your understanding ofpermutations and combinations.

Respond to your classmates by identifying the discrete and continuous distributions.Elaborate on the scenarios by providing more detail about what the distribution might
look like? Will it be a normal distribution? In some cases, the scenario may notinclude the details necessary to describe the distribution. Provide these detailsyourself and then describe the distribution.

4. Discussion Questions
What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation? What cluescould help determine between equations and expressions? Create two brief wordproblems. One problem should ask your classmates to solve an equation and theother problem should ask them to evaluate an expression. Do not indicate the type ofproblem.
Consider responding to your classmates by answering their word problems. Classifyeach problem as an expression or an equation.
What are the differences between linear and quadratic equations? How are thesedifferences displayed in a graph? Write a brief scenario that can be modeled with a
linear equation. Summarize a situation modeled by a quadratic equation. Are thereequations that are neither linear nor quadratic? Explain.
******** Also, once the discussion questions have been answered adequately and youhave responded to at least one other person, begin postingproblems/questions/solutions in the COLLABORATION thread in the main forum.
This also counts toward your total number of substantive posts for the week.
