Correlation

Positive Correlation:

The weight of the tube and the speed of the waterslide.

(One thing increases the other increases)














Negative Correlation:

The number of hours she sleeps at night and the length of her nap.  

(As one thing decreases the other increases.)

No Correlation:  

The the number of siblings you have and your favorite number.  

(No relation) 

Mine is 1 and 13 because I know you wanted to know.  

In the comments, give me two things that are positively correlated or negatively correlated.  

If you had to choose today?

My husband I went to the Badger game on Saturday.  The babysitter cost us what we paid for each ticket, parking was one-fifth of a ticket, and food was double the parking.  If we spent $324, what did we pay for both tickets?

In the comments post:
1.  the answer to this problem
2.  If you had to choose today, what college would you like to go to?

Simplify

A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person. But, basically it means eliminating all but the essential, and spending your time doing what’s important to you.

It means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love. It means getting rid of the clutter so you are left with only that which gives you value.

In math it is no different.  To simplify means you get rid of things/clutter (grouping symbols, exponents and operations) so that you are left with a value. 

Simplify, and post your answer in the comments.  

10 × 4 - 2 × (4² ÷ 4) ÷ 2 ÷ 1/2 + 9

Introducing myself through a photo dump from my phone.

1.  My Family:  Me, my husband, and daughter Hope.  She is 2.5 years old.

2.  Something I like to do:   Run

3.  Favorite Food:  Cereal.  

4.  Best part of my job:  Working with all of you!!!! But since I have no picture of that I will say my awesome co-workers!!! 

5.  Bad Habit:  Using exclamation points too often.  See #4.  And without a doubt my beloved diet mountain dew.  (Which Mr. McDonald and I are thinking of giving up this school year.  Wish us luck.) 

In the comments tell me something about your family, favorite thing to do, favorite food, your job, or your bad habit.
