Be sure to start all the problems over the weekend so that you acn ask questions Tuesday about parts your stuck on.

1. Common Sense, exercise 4.3. To make this more interesting, pretend that the business trip is to a place you'd like to visit - not necessarily France. In class people mentioned Pakistan and a few other places.

2. Common Sense, exercise 4.4.

3. On September 20, 2007 Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi wrote about Reading, writing, and cheating. (That's a link to the text of her oped piece.)

   1. In her essay Vennochi reports on the percentage of students who admit to having cheated on a test, and on the percentage who agree that "In the real world, successful people do what they must to win, even if others consider it cheating." First, find the reported percentages. From this information you cannot figure out how many students both cheated and agreed with the statement, but you can figure out the smallest and largest possible percentages for the overlap. Do that, explaining your thinking.

   2. Find out as much as you can about the source of the statistics Vennochi quotes.

4. Suppose you drive from Here to There at 30 miles/hour and then the same route back from There to Here at 60 miles/hour. What is your average speed for the round trip? (Warning: you need to figure this out. It's not 45 miles/hour!)

5. Common Sense, exercise 4.2.
