Welcome to Spring Term 2013. This term, I am teaching Math 60 (Beginning Algebra 1), Math 65 (Beginning Algebra 2), and Math 95 (Intermediate Algebra) at PCC Southeast Center. I am also teaching two sections of Math 244 (Statistics 2) at Mt Hood. If you are new to this blog, please go to the archive and read the First Post for blog rules and help in using the blog. Have a great term, Barry

  1. Hi Barry: On the activity we did in class today #5, we got the confidence interval, but I want to make sure I am wording this correctly. "I'm 95% confident that the true proportion of voters that voted for Joseph Kewl is between 48.8% and 63.2%." Is this correct?

    Thanks!

  2. Hello Professor Edwards. Sorry to ask this silly question but I am not sure what sections are due on Wednesday for homework #4. Is it sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.7 and 7.1? Or does it exclude section 6.4 for now?

    Thank you much.

  3. Hey there,
    I'm completing the group activity assigned on April 24th, a day I was absent. On the back page it asks for the identification of rate, base, and amount as the first step for each problem. I can't find definitions for the terms in section 2.4 and was wondering what they were.
    Thanks,

  5. Hi Barry,

    I noticed on MHCC's Web site that you will be teaching MTH243 this upcoming Summer term. The schedule on the Web site is a bit confusing, would you be able to provide some clarification?

    The schedule follows:

    06/24/2013-07/27/2013 | M-W | 6:00p-7:50p
    06/24/2013-07/27/2013 | T-R | 6:00p-6:50p
    06/24/2013-07/27/2013 | T-R | 7:00p-7:50p

    So, does the schedule mean that there will be a class from Monday thru Thursday?

    And when does it exactly change from 6:00p-6:50p to 7:00p-7:50p on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

    Thank you.

    1. I guess I should have said I say that units sold is X the group says units sold is y So can it be done either way? My graph shows positive breaking point, group graph shows almost negative...
      Stressing this sorry...
