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?


Standard options: 
A. Solve linear equations in one variable.
B. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.


Your response:
Thought: 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.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Akilah is running for seventh-grade class president. There are 100 students in the seventh grade at her school. To better understand her chances of winning, Akilah asks a random sample of 20 seventh graders if they plan to vote for her. In her sample, 12 out of the 20 students said they planned to vote for her. Akilah asks several friends to also ask a random sample of 20 students. Together, they combine their results to get a better understanding of her chances of winning. After winning the election, Akilah finds out that 55 out of the 100 seventh graders at her school voted for her.
Using the situation above, define and describe the following terms:
a.   sample
b.   population
c.   sample proportion
d.   population proportion
e.   sample distribution
Problem 2
All two hundred middle school students at Roosevelt Middle School responded to several survey questions, and the results were combined in a table which your teacher will share with you.
The first column represents a unique student ID number for each student. The last column represents students’ responses to the question “Which of the following superpowers would you most like to have: invisibility, super strength, telepathy, fly, or freeze time?”
The class wants to determine the proportion of Roosevelt Middle School students who choose freeze time as their superpower.
a.   In your group, use the random number table to collect a random sample of 20 student responses to the superpower question. Record your data in a table.
b.   Determine the sample proportion for your sample.
c.   Will the other groups in your class have the same sample proportion as you? Explain your reasoning.
d.   Collect the sample proportions from the class and present the distribution in a dot plot. According to the dot plot, what is a good estimation for the population proportion? What is a good estimation for the number of students who chose freeze time as their superpower?
Problem 3
This diagram shows some trees in a tree farm. The circles show old trees and the triangles show young trees. Tom wants to know how many trees there are of each type, but he says it would take too long to count them all one by one. (Note, there are 50 columns and 50 rows in the diagram.)
[IMG]
a.   What method could he use to estimate the number of trees of each type? Explain your method fully.
b.   On the
Counting Trees Worksheet
, use your method to estimate the number of old trees and young trees.
