	A linear relationship		2016-10-16
		From Bianca: x represents the number of hours since 8am. y represents the number of children the school nurse has seen during the school day. The nurse has seen 3 children by 8am and 27 children by noon. How many children has the nurse seen at 2pm? If the nurse has seen 18 children, what time is it? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Archimedes, Euclid and "Circular Reasoning"		2015-11-15
		From Ron: I have read about Archimedes and his work with sphere in cylinder and cone in cylinder and the volume relationships. Did he or any others also extend this to regular based polygon based regular like pillars, and columns? The ratio of 1/3 to 1 whole holds true with all regular based columns as example: a regular pyramid having a regular hexagon base inside a regular hexagon column of equal height. Answered by Chris Fisher.
	A relation on a collection of sets		2013-02-04
		From raji: suppose R be a non empty relation on a collection of sets defined by ARB if and only if A intersection B is nullset.then.....the correct answer is R is symmetric and not transitive...my doubt is how it is symmetric Answered by Penny Nom.
	Percent as a fractional relationship		2013-01-14
		From Kenneth: What does the following indicate? "A percent is another way of expressing the ratio or fractional relationship of two numbers." I know what a ratio is, but the term "fractional relationship" confuses me. I thank you for your reply. Answered by Penny Nom.
	A linear relationship		2010-06-22
		From Laura: The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May it cost her $300 to drive 480 miles and in June it cost her $460 to drive 800 miles. Question: Express the monthly cost C as a function of the distance driven d, assuming that a linear relationship gives a suitable model. Answered by Robert Dawson.

	Domain and range		2009-09-11
		From Aubrey: I'm supposed to "state the domain/range of each of the following relations" and it's totally not making sense... Examples: {(x,y) : x = square root of y} {(x,y) : y = x + 1, x is some even integer} Thanks in advance!! Aubrey Answered by Robert Dawson.

	An equivalence relation		2008-08-27
		From Francesca: In this problem we are told to find out if the given set is an equivalence relation or not. {(x,y) such that 4 divides x-y}. What I am confused about is whether or not for instance if I picked (1,5) as a part of the set whether I could put in (5,1) as well or whether that would be wrong. Thanks! Answered by Victoria West.

	Linear regression		2001-08-01
		From A student and a mother: My mom is taking a correspondence course in Simple Linear Regression and Correlation Analysis and we've been arguing about the relationship between the correlation -rxy and standard estimate of error-Sy.x. I took statistics last year in high school and I remember something about the Sy.x being proportionate to the r. Are they inversely related, directly related, not related, or can only range from 0 to 1.00? Her book doesn't say very much and I believe they are inversely related. She says they're directly related. Answered by Chris Fisher and Penny Nom.

	Body part measurements		1999-11-10
		From V Bailey: I am a kindergarten teacher and mother of a 6th grader who wants to do a science project on the correlations of body part measurements.

Examples are: your height is supposed to equal the distance from fingertip to fingertip when your arms are outstretched. Your foot size is supposed to equal the distance from your wrist to your elbow. Please help me find more information on this topic. Answered by Penny Nom.

		From Megan: I am tutoring a boy who got this assignment from his teacher and I have no clue how to do it because I don't even know what the questions is asking! I need some help. Hereit is: "Give five examples of relations which are not equivalent relations and five examples of equivalent relations and explain why they are equivalent relations." This is seventh grade and I read about it in his book but it is not coming together for me. Answered by Chris Fisher.

		From Shameq: Hi, I've been given a problem that I'm having some trouble with. I'd really appreciate any help.
