3. Mississippi State is last in the conference with a passing touchdown every 36.2
attempts. Suppose that Mississippi State goes on a streak so that every pass
attempt results in a touchdown. How many pass attempts would they need
to lower their ratio and overtake Arkansas to be first in the conference in the
attempts/TDs ratio?
4. Suppose instead that Mississippi State goes on a pace so that for every 3 pass
attempts they make, they throw for one touchdown. How many attempts would
Mississippi State need in order to overtake Arkansas for the conference lead in
attempts/TDs ratio?
5. How many pass attempts would Mississippi State need to overtake Arkansas
if their pace changed to a touchdown pass for every 5 pass attempts? Every 10
pass attempts? Every 25 pass attempts?
6. Suppose we state the question in more general terms. Assume Mississippi State
maintains the pace of a touchdown for every n pass attempts. For what values
of n will Mississippi State eventually overtake Arkansas?
7. Examine your solutions to questions 3-5. Identify your solution strategy for
each question from the list below. Re-answer questions 3-5 using those strate-
gies that you have not previously tried.
a. Guess-and-check: I basically guessed at a possible answer and then checked
to see if it was correct. If not, I modified my guess and tried again.
b. Algebra: I set up an equation with an unknown and used algebra to solve
for the unknown.
c. Table: I created a table of values and used the table to identify the solution.
d. Graph: I created a graph and used the graph to identify the solution.
My answers for questions 3-5. I used guess and check, how would I do the other methods for those?
3.They would need 22.
4.They would need 78.
5.The first part would be 160. The second part would be 1230. The third part would never exist.
