QPA Math First Nine Weeks 2016/2017

*Opposites make zero.

-5 + 5 = 0 as well as -5 (-5) = 0

*Distance is always positive. So the distance between -22 and 33 is 55.

*Be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers, decimals with integer twists, and fractions with integer
twists. Please solve the following. Show any work.
*Know how to apply the following properties of math to go around order of operations.
*Commutative Property a + b = b + a * Associative Property (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
*Distributive Property a(b + c) = a b + a c
*Inverse Property a a = 0 or

*Identity Property a + 0 = a

a 1/a = 1

*To ascend is to go up(POSITIVE). To descend is to go down (NEGATIVE).

In checking deposits add to the balance and checks subtract from the balance. Define sum, difference, product,
& quotient.

12. Where larger, random samples are more

extensive and expensive, they usually better reflect
the population. When surveying be careful of who is
surveyed and how the questions are worded to avoid
biased samples and biased questions. What is this?
Explain.

10) Don had tsp of the medication for both of his

dogs on Monday and 3/5 tsp of the medication on
Tuesday for both dogs. The small dog received 1/3
of each dose.

13. A ___________ sample means that every

member of the population has an equal chance of
being chosen and gives a better sampling where a
__________ sample means that every member of the
population has NOT had an equal chance to be
chosen for the sample and may lead to false
conclusions.

a) + 1/3 + 3/5
b) 1/3(1/2 + 3/5)
c) (1/3 +2/5)
How much medication will the small dog
receive? __________

14. The ______________ the sample size the closer

your statistic will be to the populations data.

15. John wants to give a survey about CeCe Middle

Schools lunch. How should he choose his sample?

Range, interquartile range, and mean absolute

deviation look at the spread of the data.

a) Randomly select 2 class from 7th grade classes

and interview the first 5 that raise their hand.
b) Randomly select the students going into the
library

c) Randomly choose 40 members of each grade

level

17. Find the mean, mode, range, and median for the
following data set.

18. What would the 11th number need to be to

lower the mean by one-half of one point?
16. If Marsha took a sample of 450 fish at the lake
and 150 were bass fish. She then took a second
sampling of 450 and found that 200 of them were
bass. What could she predict the number of bass to
be if the fish population were 4500.

19. What would the 11th number need to be to raise

the median to 7?

a) around 350 b) around 3500

c) around 1750 d) around 175

20. What could the 11th number need to be to

change the mode? What could the new mode be?

21. When a data set has an outlier, usually the

____________ is a better measure of central
tendency of the data set because the mean will be
swayed from the center by the outlier being so
different from the rest of the set.
NOTES:
Mean the average
Mode most often
Range subtract the smallest from the largest
Median the middle number when theyre lined up
from the greatest to the least.
Mean, median, and mode describe the center of a
data set.

22. Now do a box-and-whiskers for the above data

set. Find the interquartile range.

ENOUGH
23. Find the mean absolute deviation of the above
data set.

eorge g24.) Jordan gathered samples for the average monthly

precipitation, in inches, for two cities and recorded
