1.3 Algebraic Expressions 1.3 Algebraic Expressions Modeling words with an Algebraic Expression: Example 1: Multiple Choice Which algebraic expression models the phrase "seven fewer than a number t"? A) -7t B) 7 - t C) t - 7 D) 7 + t Example 2: Multiple Choice Which algebraic expression models the phrase "two times the sum of a and b"? F) a + b G) 2a + b H) 2(a + b) I) a + 2b Modeling a Situation: Example 3: You start with $20 and save $6 each week. What algebraic expression models the total amount you save? Example 4: You had $150, but you are spending $2 each day. What algebraic expression models this situation? 1 Evaluating Algebraic Expressions: Example 5: What is the value of the expression for the given values of the variables? a. 7(a + 4) + 3b - 8 for a = -4 and b = 5 b. c. 2 Writing and Evaluating Algebraic Expressions: Example 6: In football, a touchdown (TD) is worth six points, and extra-point kick (EPK) one point, and a field goal (FG) three points. a. What algebraic expression models the total number of points that a football team scores in a game, assuming each scoring play is one of the three given types? Let t = the number of touchdowns Let k = the number of extra-point kicks Let f = the number of field goals b. Suppose a football team scores 3 touchdowns, 2 extra-point kicks, and 4 field goals. How many points did the team score? 3 Example 7: In basketball, teams can score by making two-point shots, three-point shots, and one-point free throws. a. What algebraic expression models the total number of points that a basketball team scores in a game, assuming each scoring play is one of the three given types? Let x = the number of two-point shots Let y = the number of three-point shots Let z = the number of free throws b. If a team makes 10 two-point shots, 5 three-point shots, and 7 free throws, how many points do they score in all? 4 Vocabulary: 5 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions: Example 8: Combine like terms to find the simpler form of each expression. a. b. c. d. 6.

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).

Half a traditional basketball court may be used. The official 3x3 ball shall be used in all categories. Note: at grassroots level, 3x3 can be played anywhere; court markings – if any are used – shall be adapted to the available space Art. 2 Teams Each team shall consist of 4 players (3 players on the court and 1 substitute). Art. 3 Game Officials The game officials shall consist of 1 or 2 referees and time/score keepers. Art. 4 Beginning of the Game 4.1. Both teams shall warm-up simultaneously prior to the game. 4.2.

  • The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017
    The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017 Play the Game to Win What Rick Barry and the Atlanta Falcons can teach us about risk management “Something about the crowd transforms the way you think” – Malcolm Gladwell - Revisionist History With 4:45 remaining in Super Bowl LI, Matt Ryan, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, threw a pass to Julio Jones who made an amazing catch. The play did not stand out because of the way the ball was thrown or the agility that Jones employed to make the catch, but due to the fact that the catch eas- ily put the Falcons in field goal range very late in the game. That reception should have been the play of the game, but it was not. Instead, Tom Brady walked off the field with the MVP trophy and the Patriots celebrated yet another Super Bowl victory. NBA basketball hall of famer Rick Barry shot close to 90% from the free throw line. What made him memorable was not just his free throw percentage or his hard fought play, but the way he shot the ball underhanded, “granny-style”, when taking free throws. Every basketball player, coach and fan clearly understands that the goal of a basketball game is to score the most points and win. Rick Bar- ry, however, was one of the very few that understood it does not matter how you win but most im- portantly if you win. The Atlanta Falcons crucial mistake and Rick Barry’s “granny” shooting style offer stark illustrations about how human beings guard their egos and at times do imprudent things in order to be viewed favorably by their peers and the public.

  • Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association
    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

  • Speedball Rules
    SPEEDBALL RULES I. GAMEPLAY A. Teams consist of five players (this includes a goalie), but the game can start with four. B. Games are played on a basketball court inside Boyden with indoor soccer goals situated at each baseline. C. The ball will provided by Campus Recreation. D. The object of the game is to throw or kick the ball into your opponent’s goal or score a basket. E. Basic skills include: 1. Dribbling the ball (soccer). 2. Kick-up (kicking/heading the ball in the air so that a player or a teammate can catch it with their hands). 3. Catch & throw (basketball). 4. Players cannot kick-up to oneself (no self-passes). F. Only a goalie may pick up a "ground ball" using the hands, but can only pass it with their feet. G. Goalies have five seconds with the ball in their hands. If caught, the goalie can throw the ball from anywhere inside their own three-point arc. H. Out of bounds: 1. The ceiling is in. 2. Out of bounds is the basketball court lines nearest the wall, but no other out of bounds exists unless a ball is hit through or under the curtain. (on three sides of the court, there are no out of bounds). 3. Opponents must place kick the ball from where it went out. (Other players must by 5-yards away). 4.
