Plotting a function 2007-12-06
Paula pose la question :
My son has a problem that says plot the point: 2x-3y=9
I have explained to him that there must be a function for y in order to plot that point, but he doesn't think so. The question above that one says find the function for y, and I assume we should use that function. Am I wrong? Can we plot a point without a y function.

Linnea pose la question :
I have a tringle with a circle inscribed in it. My teacher wants me to find the radius of the circle. This is what she gave me to work with. The triangle is ABC, AB = AC = 6, and BC = 4. She also told us to use A(squared) + B(squared) = C(squared). and that there are altitudes and and incenter. I have no idea how to do this.

A decision based on data 2007-12-04
manny pose la question :
You have administered a standardized test of manual dexterity to two groups of 10 semi skilled workers. One of these two groups of workers will be employed by you to work in a warehouse with many fragile items. The higher the manual dexterity of a worker the less likelihood that worker will break significant inventory. Because of a unique contract you must hire all 10 employees from one of the two groups and none of the employees from the other.

You must decide which group to choose. Choose at least two measures of central tendency and at least one measure of dispersion for each group and use those to make your choice. Be sure to justify your choice with at least one page of discussion and analysis.
