Homework Tues 9/9

Today homework is from pgs. 12 and 13, # 8 to 11 and the On Your Own (OYO) #a and b.
There will be the first assessment upcoming next week over the Unit 1, lesson 1.
In class we were able to DESCRIBE, COMPARE, and EXPLAIN about data sets.
Be able to descibe data using appropriate vocabulary. Describe "what do you see?". If a feature is not present, you must say that it not present.

Vocabulary to DESCRIBE data (partial list):

* Maximum [highest value]
* Minimum [lowest value]
* Peaks [category(ies) of data that have distinctly many values]
* Clusters [Grouping(s) of data]
* Gaps [Missing data value(s) in a distribution]
* Outliers [Data point(s) that is(are) distinctly separate from the rest of the data]

To COMPARE sets of data look for similarities and differences. Use "describe" words to address your similarities and differences.

When you EXPLAIN your reasoning, use clear, logical, and complete sentences with appropriate mathematical vocabulary to justify your conclusions. Be sure to answer the question as completely as you can.
