Open data for 31 roller coasters in CODAP with this link. Let’s first graph the Max Height (drag label from table to x-axis in graph) and find out how we can describe the height of roller coasters. Each dot in the graph represents a case of a roller coaster and corresponds to one row in the table. Click on a dot and notice the table. Explore the coasters by clicking on dots or selecting rows in the table. Let’s find out about some extreme coasters in our sample: 1. a) Name of coaster with the smallest max height: b) Smallest Maximum height: c) What else can you find in the data table about the coaster with the smallest height? (It may be helpful to use tools in the ruler menu in CODAP to explore the data.) 2. a) Name of coaster with the tallest maximum height: b) Largest Maximum height: c) What else can you find in the data table about the coaster with the tallest maximum height? 3. Add two moveable lines to form a shaded region and move it so it covers a clump of the coasters you consider to be typical in height. (Use the ruler menu beside the graph window to add moveable values.) a) What range of data does your shaded area cover? b) How many coasters are in the shaded region (look under the ruler menu)? c) What percent of data are in your shaded region (look under the ruler menu)?

By Dave Altman ACE Western Pennsylvania co-hosted the Blue Streak Blast on June 6, 2011 to celebrate the return of Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park. The 71 in attendance were treated to an all day ride pass plus one ride on Blue Streak, which now requires an additional charge. The response for the optional ACE cruise on the Kaylee Belle was so successful that a second cruise was added to accommodate the 47 “lake farers.” Martin Valt, ACE’s Regional Rep for England, traveled the farthest to attend. His “prize” was to finally take his first ride onBlue Streak after several previous unsuccessful visits to the park. Jason Hammond was the winner of the golf tournament played on the miniature golf course which just had been recarpeted the day before. Unfortunately for the attendees, the restaurant at the Hotel Conneaut was closed due to two wedding receptions being held that day. However, that is good business for the hotel.
