For this project, you will analyze and then compare two related data sets of your choosing.
First you’ll use the Internet to find two sets of numeric data to compare. Then you’ll construct a frequency table or a box plot to help you organize the data, construct statistical graphs, find measures of center and spread, and create a statistical summary of the data. Finally, you’ll reflect on your findings.

“New vs. Used: A Cost Comparison for First Vehicle Purchases”
One of the first major purchases people make is often a vehicle. Sometimes you hear
it is cheaper to buy new because you won’t have repairs as everything is under
warranty. Other times, the advice is that the cheaper route is to buy used.
You are going to research both options and compare the two. Both should be
reasonable options as a first vehicle. You’ll then research maintenance costs,
estimated repair costs, etc. and compare the total cost of purchasing and maintaining
each after 7 years.

RSA Encryption Reflection Discussion Initial Post: Using the prime numbers p = 3 and q = 11, and the public key e = 3, my phrase for this reflection discussion is “I AM”. Representing the letters A
As you learned this week, RSA is the most widely used public key cryptosystem. In this discussion, you will apply RSA to post and read messages. For this reflection discussion, use the prime numbers p = 3 and q = 11.
Using the public key e = 3, post a phrase about something that you found interesting or relevant in this course. Include only letters and spaces in your phrase. Represent the letters A through Z by using the numbers 01 through 26, and represent a space by the number 32. Treat upper case and lower case letters as the same.
Optional: If you want to include punctuation characters, you can use the numbers 27 through 31 for that, but you must inform your classmates that you did.
How did you calculate your value for d? As a check, the phrase ″A CAB″ would be represented by ″01 32 03 01 02″ and would be encrypted as ″01 32 27 01 08″.
In your responses to classmates, decode your classmates′ phrases and respond using the same encryption scheme.

“The Importance of Arm Span in Sports Performance”
The average arm span or wingspan for adults is approximately equal to their height. The value that is
often used is the ratio of arm span relative to height which is known as the APE index. After 15 years
of age, the normal range of arm span/height or APE index is considered to be 1-1.05 but many people
may fall outside of this range.
Interestingly, “the average ratio of arms to height in the NBA is an astounding 1.06” according to
Sports Illustrated (https://vault.si.com/vault/2012/11/05/the-case-for-wingspan). We often think about
the extraordinary height of basketball players but they often have incredibly long wingspans as well.
Both being tall and having a long wing span are advantageous in this sport. Being tall puts you closer
to the hoop for easier lay-ups and slam dunks on offense. It also helps playing defense to block shots.
It is easy to see that wingspan would also help with these offensive and defensive moves.
Other sports, like swimming, may also have advantages with a long wingspan. Some sports, like
weightlifting, may have advantages with a shorter wingspan considering there would be less distance to
lift. How does your arm span compare with your height

Objective
Understand and clearly express quantitative comparisons and change statements that use absolute change, relative change, and ratios.
Scenario
You work for a news network. You′ve been given the tables below with population information for cities in Indiana; your boss wants you to come up with a news item from this data following the guidelines below.
Data
Top 5 cities in Indiana by population, 2023
City 2023 Population
Indianapolis 871,449
Fort Wayne 269,621
Evansville 114,957
Fishers 104,701
South Bend 103,006
Top 5 cities in Indiana by population, 2000

Indianapolis 781,870
Fort Wayne 205,727
Evansville 121,582
South Bend 107,789
Gary 102,746
Instructions
Follow the guidelines below to write an article or create a video to be published by your news network. You will be comparing cities with other cities, and also looking at how cities have changed over time.
Use the File Upload (Word document or video file), Text Entry, or Media submission tab.
Maximum word count of 200 words or maximum video length of 2 minutes.
DO NOT include either data table or any of the populations from either data table.
DO NOT include any of your calculations.
DO NOT include any form of the words compare, difference, ratio, absolute, or relative.
You will choose which cities to talk about and how to organize your article or video, but you must include the following, in any order:
A city-to-city comparison using a ratio Explain how this is evidence of an axolotl invasion.
Pre-writing steps:
Choose two cities from the 2023 table.
Divide the larger population by the smaller population to find how many times bigger the larger city is.
Round to the nearest tenth or the nearest whole number (your choice).
Put this number and the city names into a sentence of the general form ″˂larger city˃ is ˂number˃ times bigger than ˂smaller city˃.″
Use your own words and sentence structure.
A city-to-city comparison using the difference in population (absolute change)
Pre-writing steps:
Choose two cities from the 2023 table that you did not use yet.
Subtract the populations.
Round to the nearest thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand (your choice, as long as the result has at least one non-zero digit).
Put this number and the city names into a correct sentence of the general form ″˂City A˃ has ˂number˃ ˂more/less˃ people than ˂City B˃.″
Use your own words and sentence structure.
Increase and decrease
Pre-writing steps:
From the 4 cities that appear on both the 2023 table and the 2000 table, choose one whose population increased and one whose population decreased.
You′ll express the change in population for one city using absolute change and for the other using relative change.
Absolute change:
Subtract the two populations.
Round to the nearest thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand (your choice, as long as the result has at least one non-zero digit).
Relative change:
Subtract the two populations.
Divide the result by the old population (from the 2000 table).
Convert the result to percent form.
Round to a whole percentage or tenth of a percent (your choice, as long as the result has at least two nonzero digits).
Put each result and city name into a sentence of the general form ″˂City˃′s population ˂increased/decreased˃ by ˂number˃ ˂people/%˃ from 2000 to 2023.″
Use your own words and sentence structures.
Include an introduction and transitional phrases to fit the individual sentences together into a united whole article -

equations (equality) and inequalities
real and imaginary numbers
Respond
Discuss the following in regard to your chosen pair of “opposite” terms.
Briefly define the concept associated with each term and give an example of how these concepts are used in this course.
Discuss the similarities and differences between the two concepts of your chosen opposite terms.
How do the “seemingly opposite” terms from your pair relate to the attributes of God or the concept of faith (e.g. real and imaginary)?
Research how your terms’ concepts can be applied in real-world situations?
