Problem 1
The table below contains single equations in a single variable, single equations in two variables, and pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables. Check the appropriate box to show whether there is no solution, exactly 1 solution, or if there is an infinite number of solutions.

Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Description: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Answer: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Bobbie is a sixth grader who competes in the 100-meter hurdles. In eight track meets during the season, she recorded the following times (to the nearest one hundredth of a second).
18.11    31.23    17.99    18.25    17.50    35.55    17.44    17.85
a.   What is the mean of Bobbie’s times for these track meets? What does the mean tell you in terms of the context?
b.   What is the median of Bobbie’s times? What does the median tell you in terms of the context?
c.   Explain why the mean is higher than the median.
d.   Which measure of center do you think best represents Bobbie’s 100-meter hurdle time? Explain your reasoning.
e.   The two times that were over 30 seconds were times when Bobbie fell on a hurdle. She decides to take those times out to get a sense of her typical time without falling. What is the new mean? The new median? How do those compare to the original mean and median?
Problem 2
At the University of North Carolina (UNC) in the mid-1980's, the average starting salary for a Geography major was over $100,000 (equivalent to almost $300,000 today).
At that same time, basketball star Michael Jordan was drafted into the NBA with one of the highest salaries in the league. He had just graduated from UNC with a degree in Geography.
a.   Explain why the mean is a misleading measure of center to represent the salary of geography students at UNC.
b.   What measure of center would better represent the salary of geography students at UNC? Explain your reasoning.
Problem 3
The data set below represents the morning commute time of eight colleagues in an office on the same day. The mean of the data set is 32.5 minutes and the median is 38 minutes.
45           32           38           20           5           40           38           42
There was a typo in the data set, and the input “5” was supposed to be “50.” The typo is corrected and the correct mean and median are found.
Without calculating, explain what impact the typo had on the mean and the median.
