• 1) The mean of the data is 9.43. I added up all the numbers (8,8,9,9,9,11,12) and divided by 7 since there are 7 pieces of data.

• 2) The median of the data is 9. I order the numbers from least to greatest and found the number in the middle.

• 3) The mode of the data is 9 because it is listed the most.

• 4) The range of the data is 4. I subtracted the smallest data from the largest data (12-8)

Dad gives you money every day to put in your new piggy bank. He gives money to you in such a way that the money in the piggy bank doubles with each passing day. If you already have 1 cent in the piggy bank and Dad gives you 1 cent the first day, 2 cents the second day, 4 cents the third day and so on, then your piggy bank gets full on the 10th day.

On which day will your piggy bank be half-full?

Day 11

If your piggy bank is full on day 10, and you are doubling your money each day, the piggy bank will

Old MacDonald had a farm. And on that farm he had some turkeys and pigs.

One day, while feeding them all, he noticed that , if he added everything

together, his pigs and turkeys had a total of 24 legs and 12 wings between them.

How many pigs did Old MacDonald have? How many turkeys?

• Answer:

• All 12 wings belonged to the turkeys (because pigs don’t have any); so he must have had 6 turkeys (2 wings each). The 6 turkeys have 12 legs, which leaves 12 legs for the pigs, or 3 pigs (4 legs each).

• 3 pigs and 6 turkeys
