standard_description: Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
problem_activity: Task
Imagine Scott stood at zero on a life-sized number line.  His friend flipped a coin 50 times.  When the coin came up heads, he moved one unit to the right. When the coin came up tails, he moved one unit to the left. After each flip of the coin, Scott's friend recorded his position on the number line.
Let $f$ assign to the whole number $n$, when $1 \leq n \leq 50$,
Scott's position on the number line after the $n^{\rm th}$ coin flip. Explain why $f$ is a function.
Write a sentence explaining what $f(5)=5$ means in everyday language.
Before Scott began the random walk, he asked his friend to calculate the probability that $f(3)=0$.  What should his friend respond?
