We can draw an ellipse using a piece of cardboard, two thumbtacks, a pencil and string. Place the thumbtacks in the cardboard to form the foci of the ellipse Cut a piece of string longer than the distance between the two thumbtacks
(the length of the string represents the constant in the definition). Tack each end of the string to the cardboard, and
trace a curve with a pencil held taut against the string. The result is an ellipse.
1) Show that d1+d2=2a. Send
pictures for this question.
(use a ruler after drawing your
ellipse)

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
