WarmUp
One brand of bath tub comes with a dial to set the water temperature. When
the "babysafe" setting is selected and the tub is filled, the temperature X of the
water follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 34o C and a standard
deviation of 2o C.
a.) Define the random variable Y to be the water temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit. Using find the mean and standard deviation of Y.
(Hint: Use your rules
b.) According to Babies R Us, the temperature should be between 90o F and
100o F. Find the probability that the water temperature will meet the
recommendation.

Pete's Jeep Tours and Erin's Adventures
For a randomly selected day, use the following variables:
X = # of passengers for Pete Y = # of passengers for Erin
C = Amt of money Pete collects G = Amt of money Erin collects
Here are the means and standard deviations for each:
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the difference
D = C G in the amounts that Pete and Erin collect on a randomly
given day. Interpret each value in context.

A little harder:
Mr. Starnes likes sugar in his hot tea. From experience, he needs
between 8.5 and 9 grams of sugar in a cup of tea for the drink to
taste right. While making his tea one morning, Mr. Starnes adds four
randomly selected packets of sugar. Suppose the amount of sugar
in these packets follows a normal distribution with a mean 2.17
grams and a standard deviation of 0.08 grams.
What's the probability that Mr. Starnes's tea tastes right?

For random variables, does X + X + X = 3X?
Maybe, but be careful. When insuring one person for $30,000, it is not the same risk
as insuring three people for $10,000 each. When each instance (X) represents a
different outcome for the same random variable, it is easy to fall into the trap of
writing all of them with the same symbol. Don't make this common mistake.
Make sure you write each instance as a different random variable (X1 + X2 + X3).
Just because each random variable describes a similar situation doesn't mean that
each random outcome will be the same.

For the class of 2010*, average scores and
standard deviations** are:
SAT Math score X μx=516 σx=115
SAT Verbal score Y μ =501 σy=111
y
SAT Writing score Z μz=492 σz=109
*From collegeboard.com
**I made up the SD.
Usually we want the combination of these three.
So what would the mean of the total score X + Y + Z?
Why can't we find the combined standard deviation?

Finding the Differences:
The diameter C of a randomly selected large drink at a fastfood
restaurant follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 3.96 inches
and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. The diameter L of a
randomly selected large lid at this restaurant follows a Normal
distribution with a mean 3.98 and a standard deviation of 0.02
inches. For a lid to fit on a cup, the value of L has to be bigger than
the value of C, but not by more than 0.06 inches.
What's the probability that a randomly selected large lid will fit on a randomly
selected large drink?

Stations!
1.) You must choose at least 4 different stations (2 FRQ, 2 MC)
2.) Pink are harder, yellow are slightly easier
3.) Must complete Short Response #2 (Mr. Voss & Mr. Cull)
4.) Partner up to rotate through the stations together
5.) Get each stations answers checked before moving on to the next one
