<p>Which writing was experimental and which one wasn’t? One about a cook and the other about radio stations?</p>

<p>How do you think the curve will be based on what we took?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure they said to choose 5 numbers from the list. AND because the mode is 7, it is inevitably used twice.
<strong>,</strong>,7,7,___ I’m don’t remember but u think I put 9.</p>

<p>the passage on deception, talking about the 19th century guy that said deception leads to bigger crimes (bad paraphrase but whatevs)
Why did he use it? I said it was to point out the faulty logical reasoning…</p>

<p>^ the mean mode median one is 10.
7 had to get used twice, other than that, just plug things in and divide by… (6?7? don’t remember)</p>

<p>It wouldn’t be for faulty reasoning cause that would be counterproductive. I said something like to show the basic ideals of that quote.</p>

<p>^ you definately had to use 7 numbers in the set. Five once and one twice</p>

<p>Does anyone remember reading about someone named Persia kicking someone out or was that experimental?</p>

<p>I think it is agreed on that the 7 mode/median/mean answer is: 10.</p>

<p>@Corndwag I don’t recall such a passage.</p>

<p>Which CR section was experimental?
I had passages on deception, formations of (idk…)/coral reefs (something Darwin and another scientist argued about), research funding, suburbia, and salsa. all i can remember atm.</p>

<p>I didn’t say faulty logical reasoning. I said agree with the basic assumptions the 19th century guys say, because his view on lying and hurting of the conscious seems pretty similar.</p>

<p>I said something about the soundness of basic principles of the nineteenth century guys’</p>

<p>Yep, that’s what I meant!</p>

<p>@Rawrfg
yeah that’s what I thought at first.
But he made a turn and said “although it doesn’t lead to bigger crimes, it does undermine their conscience…”
idk :frowning: I did really poorly on the CR section…</p>

<p>^thought SC section was harder than usual… probs because i’ve only been in the US for 4 years lol.</p>

<p>But the although is going into real specifics. It doesn’t undermine the BASIC message.</p>

<p>I think coral reefs was experimental.</p>

<p>Customary and dislodge for vocab in context?</p>

<p>Who remembers other suburbs/deception/science funding question :)</p>

<p>what passage was dislodge in???</p>
