49- Shuffleboard, Race Cars, and Reaction Times: Find the Algebraic Connection

Thursday, October 22, 2015: 9:45 AM-11:00 AM
419 (Atlantic City Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
Claudia D. Maness


 

Participants will create a playing field and write the equation that represents the possible points scored in the game. They will conduct time trials, predict who would win if there was a car race, and have a race to see if the predicted winner wins. They will measure reaction time, calculate measures of central tendency and create a histogram.
