Need Stamps?

Stamps are DUE THURSDAY! Don't forget!

You need a total of 15 stamps (there are opportunities for plenty below!).

I know lots of people are worried about stamps....here are some opportunities to earn more....

1. Find out the name of the game John Nash plays in the movie A Beautiful Mind (the one where they move the black/white pieces that look like rocks/marbles). [1 stamp]

2. What are the Millenium Prize Problems? In a few sentences describe what these are, and then list the 7 Millenium Prize Problems. [4 stamps]

3. Create a poster that briefly outlines one of the statistical ideas below for the classroom. The poster MUST be neat, clear, colorful, and legible throughout the classroom. [Maximum of 10 stamps, depending on quality and statistical accuracy]
  • Categorical vs. Quantitative data, with examples
  • Types of graphical displays (for categorical and quantitative data)
  • Z-Scores: how to calculate? what are they? 
  • SOCS: What is it? Provide specifics--what do we use to describe shape, center, spread?
  • Outliers: What are they?  How do we determine if a number is an outlier for one variable (two methods)? How do we determine if something is an outlier in a scatter plot?
