Weekend HW

I'm soooooooo pumped about chapter 6!

Here's the weekend homework: first off, please complete the worksheet provided in class (all of it). This means the rest of number 2, and don't forget to go back to #1. For 2, letter i, you need to think--draw a picture to help yourself out! If you need more, check out your textbook.

Second, please find the average SAT score for 3 colleges you're interested in applying to. If you're younger and haven't considered this yet, start now. If you don't plan to go to college you still need to find average scores for 3 schools.

We'll use this as the basis as some of our work next week, so it's important! This research will count as a homework assignment!

Extra Credit:
Today we looked at the populations of the U.S. and China, and then found the number of geniuses in each country. Here's a challenge: find the IQ score that would cut off a percentage of the Chinese population greater than the entire U.S. pop.

Let me try to clarify: today we anticipated that China had about 5 milllion geniuses, based on the .38% of people above an IQ of 40. Of course if we want this number (5 million to increase), we need the percentage to increase--so find me the IQ score that cuts off a high enough percent of the Chinese population that it's greater than the entire U.S. pop.

(Sorry, that's really hard to try to write up).
