Squeak 17 #33 April 17, 2006 Quotemean = average of the numbers in a set. Median = the middle value of the numbers in a set ALL three are types of average: Mean is Sum of the set divided by the number of values in the set Median is "the middle value of the numbers in a set" when the set is ranked in order Mode is Most Often occuring numberYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

rmsmith 1 #36 April 17, 2006 This seems like it would be very challenging for the typical 8th grader in the United States today. In fact, I doubt many k12 seniors could get past that either, but I grew up in California too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slurp56 0 #39 April 17, 2006 Quote10/10 Now, 12th grade math??? Might be a different story for me...... Zipp0 They had 12th grade math? My last year of math was 10th grade, I finished Algebra 3/4 (Trig?) That was all the credits I needed because I was smart and stuff. I wish I would have continued, I love math, but the teacher was a real drag. Thats the real reason I stopped. I didnt get her teaching style and she was a super-bitch Maybe I should go back to college? I got 10/10 on this little quiz.________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

champu 1 #43 April 17, 2006 Quote10/10. But as a scientist, I use math for a living. and yes, when you're a scientist, you often DO have to solve for "x"! Yes, that's all well and good, but how often do you actually use the mode of a set? Also, if "x" has an analytical solution, the problem isn't difficult enough.

rehmwa 2 #46 April 17, 2006 Got them all, but the two about terms aren't really math but vocabulary. (what's a 'integer', what's 'whole number', etc, what is a 'mode', etc). Math is best thought about in terms of pure calcualting concepts, not definitions. (i.e., I've never seen much value in asking what the 'mode' of a sample was versus just asking which one occurred the most often.....scientists and mathematicians are always creating their own language for very simple things - job security) I was hoping to see a question about cutting down trees in the forest and asking how I 'felt' about it. This was very heartening to see math instead of sociology. I'm not cynical - you are. ...
