Spalding and his sister want cheeseburgers, but neither wants to get up and cook them. Thinking quickly, Spalding proposes that they flip a coin to determine who does the cooking. He says whoever gets heads does the cooking. His sister wants to roll two dice and add the numbers. She says whoever gets an even sum does the cooking. Spalding says that his sister's method is unfair. Which method is fairer to both? Which method would give Spalding a greater chance of winning? Experiment to find out. Explain your answer with a table of your results and in words.

3) The women's fitness center offers a special daily walk-in rate of $7 per visit, or a yearly membership of $295. Make a graph that will most accurately and efficiently allow you to figure out which plan is a better deal for someone who works out ever fifth day, every third day, or once a week. Explain why you chose to make your graph as you did, and demonstrate that it gives you accurate answers.

4) Griselda wants to buy an elephant, so she needs to get a loan. One bank offers loans at 19.5% interest per month. A second bank offers for 17.4% per month plus a one-time fee of 10% of the amount of the loan. A third bank charges no interest for the first two months, 1% for each of the second two months, and doubles the percentage of interest for each of the two months thereafter. If Griselda needs to borrow $60,000 and can pay $600 per month, which loan should she take? Estimate first, then check your answwer by calculating the total amounts Griselda would have to pay for each of the three loans.

For number one the coin will flip 1/2 heads and 1/2 tails. The two dice roll has 36 outcomes. 1-1 to 6-6 and every combination between, but how many are even? 1-1 (odd odd) make even number 2. So, first number 1 means 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6 (3 evens 3 odds) and 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6 (3 odds, 3 evens) 3-1 will be like 1-1 (even then odd) 4-1 will be like 2-1 (odd then even), so the brother is wrong they are both fair ways to determine which one does the chore. What you're suffering from is called "overload" in SAT test prep. Just breathe and think.
