  Mathematics in Our World.
• Gather three of your favorite packaged foods
  perhaps one from each breakfast, lunch and
  dinner. Use the model explained in the Are You
  Sure Its Fat Free? to analyze, through the
  mathematical formula explained, the fat content
  and protein content from your foods. To analyze
  the protein content use 4 calories per gram of
  protein, rather than the 9 calories for grams of
  fat

• This Discussion should be an eye opener for most
  students. We will look at our food shopping
  trends and how we spend our money. The outcomes
  should reveal some interesting facts.
• 1. Save a cash register receipt from a shopping
  trip to the food market, or borrow one from a
  family member or friend. The cost of four
  prepackaged food items that are sold by weight
  and the cost of at least three fresh fruits, or
  vegetables need to appear on the receipt. If you
  have no access to a receipt with these items,
  then you will need to go to the store and write
  down the cost information, or find a grocery
  advertisement online.

  own mathematical models, write down the equations
  and then solve the equations for unknown values
  using algebraic methods.
• 1. Refer back to Week One Discussion and use the

• This Discussion will concentrate on functions and
  graphs. Understanding the definitions of words is
  the essence of mathematics. When we understand
  the meaning of words, finding a solution is much
  easier because we know what task the problem is
  asking us to complete.
• Part 1
• 1. In your own words, define the word function.
• 2. Give your own example of a function using a
  set of at least 4 ordered pairs. The domain will
  be any four integers between 0 and 10.

• This Discussion tests your ability to use a ruler
  and convert from Standard English measure to
  Metrics. You will then apply your knowledge of
  the geometric measurements of area and volume
  through real world problems.
• 1. Choose a room in your house. Measure the
  length, the width, and the height. Make sure you
  use feet and inches. Most rooms are not a whole
  number, such as 10 feet they are 10 feet and 3
  inches, or 9 feet 6 inches, etc.
• NOTE Do not use decimal numbers for the feet.
  For example, do not write 10.3 to mean 103,
  because that is incorrectsurface area of the
  room.

• The purpose of this Discussion is to analyze a
  financial plan that portrays a somewhat typical
  budgeting scheme. You will calculate expenses, a
  mortgage payment, and the effects of interest and
  financing on your budget. Show your math work for
  every answer and identify the answers with words.
• 1. Select the first three letters of your last
  name. Each letter has a numerical place value in
  the alphabet. For example, D is 4, L is 12, and Z
  is 26. Add the three place values together. For
  example, Wallace would yield WAL, which is
  23112 36.
• 2. Multiply your sum by 1500. This is your yearly
  income for Week Four Discussion 1.

• This Discussion allows you to demonstrate your
  understanding of the similarities and differences
  between classical probability and empirical
  probability.
• 1. In your own words, describe two main
  differences between classical and empirical
  probabilities.
• 2. Gather coins you find around your home or in
  your pocket or purse. You will need an even
  number of coins (any denomination) between 16 and
  30. You do not need more than that. Put all of
  the coins in a small bag or container big enough
  to allow the coins to be shaken around. Shake the
  bag well and empty the coins onto a table. Tally
  up how many heads and tails are showing. Do ten
  repetitions of this experiment, and record your
  findings every time.

• This Discussion will give you the opportunity to
  calculate or identify the three measures of
  central tendency. You will be asked to select an
  appropriate real life situation in which one
  measure would be more appropriate than the other
  two measures of center.
• 1. Select a topic of interest to you and record
  the topic in your posting, for example What is
  the average number of hours people watch TV every
  week? Make sure the question you ask will be
  answered with a number, rather than answers with
  words.
• 2. Write a hypothesis of what you expect your
  research to reveal. Example Adults 21 years and
  over watch an average of 2.5 hours of TV per day.
