  1. A triangle has 6 numerical quantities: the lengths of its 3 sides and the measures of its 3 angles. Suppose you know exactly two of the sides and one of the angles. In other words, you are in the situation described by one of the following triples of letters: SSA, SAS, or ASS. When do you have a congruency result? When don’t you?
  2. Draw a box and whisker plot for the data 5, 12 , 9 , 20 , 12 , 15 , 10 , 9 , 20.
  1. Find the mean of the data 8, 2 , 6 , 7 , 4 , 4 , 6 , 5. Explicitly mention the formula you are using.
  2. The final grades at Hogwarts are normally distributed. An A is a score of 90 or higher. It is possible to score greater than 100, due to magic. Professor’s Sprouts class has a mean score of 80 with a standard deviation of 2.5, while Professor Snape’s class has a mean score of 70 and a standard deviation of 15.
