In mathematics, is is important to read the directions before attempting to work any problems. You are NOT expected to able to work any problems. You are NOT expected to be able to work Problems 11-60 at this time. You ARE expected to be able to work those problems AFTER reading this text. So for now, just place each assigned question in one of the following categories:
Yes. I know how to start this problem.
No. I don’t think I know how to start this problem.
Hopeful. If someone shows me how to proceed, I think I could answer this question.
Hopeless. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to answer this question.

5. How many numbers can you make out of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 if the rule is that every digit has to be
larger than the digit preceding it? For example 124 is ok, 122 is not ok. Every digit can be used only
once, but you do not have to use every digit. A tree might help.

Each year many small plots of equal size but different soil/fertilizer conditions are planted with wheat. At the end of the growing season, the yield (in pounds) of the wheat on the plot is measured. Suppose for a random sample of years, one plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds): 4.46 4.21 4.40 4.81 2.81 2.90 4.93 3.54 4.16 4.48 3.26 4.74 4.97 4.02 4.91 2.59 Use a calculator to verify that the sample variance for this plot is .
