Class Topics: 11.16.11

In EDM, students analyzed and reflected on both their successes and short-comings on the Unit Three Summative Assessment.  We compared the different data set of the three periods to look for trends amongst the three classes.

  • HW: Blog Review - 11.16.11  
In Pre-Algebra, students analyzed box-and-whisker plots.  Students took their previous knowledge of arranging data sets from least to greatest and locating the median.  Once the median was identified, students decomposed that information into first and third quartiles.  Our box was they constructed over an appropriate number line and finally whiskers were drawn to indicate both the least and greatest value.    
  • HW: Analyze the picture to answer the following questions. 
    • Which company sold the most stocks in the third quartile?  
    • Which company sold the fewest stocks in the first quartile?
    • Infer as to which company may be a newly formed organization and state why you made that inference.
  • HW: View the video again at home and let me know if you felt it was beneficial to your gaining a better understanding of box-and-whisker plots.
What fact(s) can be obtained from
analyzing these box-and-whisker plots?

    2. Company a
    3. I think company A is the newest because they didn't sell very many stocks in the first and third quartiles, and many other companies might have regular costumers.

    3. Company A because it has the smallest quartiles and and the whiskers are also short.

    He (being the guy in the video) had a good demonstration but I didn't find the video beneficial because he confused me. I get it now though! Kinda...

    3. Company A because maybe A was the newest company. I think that because looking at the graph, they sold the least.

    Yes, I found this video very beneficial to learning about box and whisker plots.

    3. I think Company A would be the newly formed company. I think this because in both the first and third quartile, they sold the fewest amount of stocks. If the company was new, they would have less business because of lack of advertisement and experience.

  16. First one is company C because they sold 1,250.

    Second one is company A because they only sold about 500.

    The last question is company A because they had the stocks sold overall.
