Discussion Topic The most important component of a physical

structure is a solid foundation on which the rest of

the structure sits. A strong foundation allows

buildings to last longer and withstand many

outside forces.

Just like the foundation of a building, a strong

foundation for algebra is critical for success and

allows you to extend your understanding to more

complex mathematical and real-world situations.

What are some of the foundational, or key,

concepts of algebra that you have learned so far?

Max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
