Squares in a rectangle 2003-10-21
Raj pose la question :

Draw a rectangle with sides of 3 and 4. Divide the sides into 3 and 4 equal parts respectively. Draw squares joining the points on the sides of the rectangle. You will have 12 small squares inside the 3 x 4 rectangle.

If you draw a diagonal of the rectangle, it will intersect 6 of the the 12 smaller squares.

Similarly, if you have a 4 x 10 rectangle, the diagonal would intersect 12 of the 40 squares inside the rectangle.

Is there an algebric equation that determines the number of squares that will be intersected by the diagonal of a rectangle?

Statistics from grouped data 2003-10-09
Rebecca pose la question :

I have to use a suitable computer package (ie. Excel) to work out the mean and standard deviation of the following:

 Price Range            No of Houses        No of Houses 
£`000                  Area 1              Area 2   

45 and under 50         4                   5 
50 and under 55        7                   12 
55 and under 60        14                  16 
60 and under 70        19                  18 
70 and under 80        8                   3 
80 and under 100       5                   2 

I have used excel to work out mean and standard deviation before, but not in a more complicated example like this.

Any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Standard Deviation 2003-10-07
Rebecca pose la question :

I have a task to complete, which is to calculate the mean and standard deviation of something. I have done this but am then asked to write a short explanation of my findings.

I know what the mean is about, and I thought I knew what the standard deviation meant too - shows the variation from the mean. However, on a task I completed earlier the feedback I got said 'you need to tell us that it is talking about the middle 66% of the data' - that has thrown me, I don't understand that. Can anyone help me get my head round this???

The sketch of a graph 2003-10-07
A student pose la question :
I was wondering how do you figure out if a graph has a horizontal tangent line. One of my homework problem was to sketch the graph of the following function; (4/3)x3-2x2+x. I set f''(x) ( the second derivative) of the function equal to zero and got the inflection point:(1/2,1/6). Also i am having trouble finding the concavity for x>1/2 and x<1/2, i am getting a different answer from the back of the book, the graph i draw looks completely different from the correct answer.
