Solutions
to Problems
Worked solutions to the Problems in Exercise 3Lin the textbook. The
file starts with a section on Learning to Solve Problems. All of
the solutions to problems in this textbook series will also have a 'Hints'
page. Since students have little experience at solving problems of this
type, the hints are not subtle.
Datasets
The datasets used in this chapter are available as grouped files for the
TI-82, TI-83 and TI-83 Plus graphics calculators. The datasets are stored
in programs, which is the most efficient method of storing datasets. Click
here to learn how to access and use these
datasets, and to store your own data in progams. To copy these files to
your hard drive, right-click, select 'Save Target As..', select a folder,
and click on [Save].
