Warm-up
(APK)
MB-In the neighborhoods of Cypress
Park, Highland Park, and Lincoln
Heights, 10 percent of people’s phone
numbers are unlisted. Assume that the
population of these neighborhoods is
50,000. If you took the phonebook for
these neighborhoods (remember the
pop.) how many of the numbers would
be unlisted?
MB -What 2 words, formed from
different arrangements of the same 9
letters, will complete the sentence
below?
MB- Lee, Joe, Sue, Janet and Charles
took a math exam. Charles was not
last, Janet was not first or last. Charles
scored higher than Joe, Janet scored
higher than Sue, Lee scored lower than
Joe but higher than Janet. Who had
the highest score?
