I’m Going to High School Now You See It . Next Year By Emma Gordon Tusker Tribune Staff If you’re in 8th grade this year, then you are most likely going to go to the High School next year. Maybe you forgot in the midst of this crazy year; or maybe you have already start- ed the summer reading. But no matter what –not to sound ominous- the High School is waiting for you to come next year. Just like how it’s waiting for me.

Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated S-CP.4 with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities. Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability S-MD.2 distribution. Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which S-MD.4 probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding S-MD.5 expected values. S-MD.5a Find the expected payoff for a game of chance. S-MD.5b Evaluate and compare strategies on the basis of expected values. Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number S-MD.6 generator). Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical S-MD.7 testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).

    Dwight Howard / Orlando Magic When he was 14-years-old, Dwight Howard made a goal —be selected as the no. 1 pick in the NBA draft. In the 2004, Dwight accomplished this goal when he was drafted no. 1 overall by the Orlando Magic, beginning his road to superstardom in the National Basketball Association. After becoming the youngest player ever to average a double-double in his rookie season, he’s been a five-time NBA All-Star, three- time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, four-time All-NBA and All-Defensive team member and the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner. Widely considered the best big man in the game, he is consistently among league leaders in rebounds, blocks, field goal percentage and scoring. His play has helped lead the Magic to a franchise record five straight postseason appearances, three division titles and their first NBA Finals appearance in more than 10 years. Howard gained national recognition while attending Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Over his four-year high school career, he averaged 16.6 points, 13.4 rebounds and 6.3 blocks and lead his team to a state title. He was bestowed with all major high school awards that year including McDonald’s National High School Player of the Year, Gatorade National Player of the Year, Morgan Wootten High School Player of the Year and the Naismith Prep Player of the Year. Raised as a devout Christian by parents Dwight Sr. and Sheryl Howard, Dwight Jr. views his basketball career as much more than an opportunity for money and fame.
