In my honest opinion, It’s not a typical family reunion. Not forty, or fifty, or sixty, But how about seventy companions! The kids would play, scream, and shout One minute they’re happy, another they’ll pout. The teenagers would look, stare, and compare From how the’ look to what they wear. The men would chat about their business That they make moie, but never less. Money Is always their subject And there’s always talk of more new projects. The women get tired from all of the chats They head to the kitchen to set out the mats. Some would sit and some would stand Eating and talking with plates in their hands. Then come the games and the songs And suddenly, everyone gets along! With all that laughter, It’s sad to say That it always ends in the same old way. The’ hug and kiss and say “good-bye” And then they all begin to cty! I say that 60 percent shed their tears But my mom counted 35 people this year. She said that boys and men sjll always have their piide, So we won’t ever see them civ. I myself don’t think she’s correct, So could you please try this problem to see if you object?‘The Problem with Angels,” by Cyndy Dowling Although this problem is wholly mine, The catalyst came from the magazine, Time.

So, I asked each to be true, “Do you believe in angels?” Tell me, do! Hypothesizing at the stan, Totally believing in my heart That the proportion who said yes Would be equal on this test. Lo and behold, seventy-three did arrive, Out of the sample of ninety-five. Now your job has just begun, Solve this problem and have some fun.“Blowing Bubbles,” by Sondra Prull Studying stats just made me tense, I had to find some sane defense.

The label said each time I blew The average number of bubbles would be at least 22. I blew and blew and this I found From 64 blows, they all are round! But the number of bubbles in 64 blows Vaiied widely, this I know. 20 per blow became the mean They deviated by 6, and not 16. From counting bubbles, I sure did relax But now I give to you your task.

His competitors did not agree That freckles would increase the fee. The’ said, “Spots are quite nice But they don’t affect price; One should breed for improved pedigree.” The breeders decided to prove This strategy was a wrong move. Breeding only for spots Would wreak havoc, they thought. His theoty they want to disprove. They proposed a contest to Spreckles Comparing dog prices to freckles. In records they looked up One hundred one pups: Dalmatians that fetched the most shekels. They asked Mr. Spreckles to name An average spot count he’d claim To bring in big bucks. Said Spreckles, “Well, shucks, It’s for one hundred one that I aim.” Said an amateur statistician Who wanted to help with this mission. “Twenty-one for the sample Standard deviation’s ample: The’ examined one hundred and one Dalmatians that fetched a good sum. They counted each spot, Mark, freckle and dot And tallied up every one. Instead of one hundred one spots They averaged ninety six dots Can they muzzle Spreckles’ Obsession with freckles Based on all the dog data they’ve got?‘MacaronI and Cheese, please! I” by Nedda Misberghl and Rachelle Hall As a poor starving student I don’t have much money to spend for even the bare necessities. So my favoite and main staple food is macaroni and cheese. ks high in taste and low In cost and nutritional value. One day, as I sat down to deterniine the meaning of life. I got a senous craving for this, oh, so important, food of my life. So I went down the sn-eel to Greatwa to get a box of macaroni and cheese, but it was SO expensive! $2.02 !!! Can you believe It? It made me stop and think. The world Is changing fast. I had thought that the mean cost of a box (the normal size, not some super-gigantIc-fam1ly-valuepack) was at most Si, but now I wasn’t so sure. However, I was determined o find out. I went to 53 of the closest gxocery stores and surveyed the prices of macaroni and cheese. Hete axe the data I wrote In my noteboolc Price per box of Mac and Cheese: • 5 stoies @ $2.02 • l5stores@S0.25 • 3stores@S1.29 • 6 stoies @ $0.35 • 4 stoies @ $2.27 • 7 soies@Sl.SO • Sstores@Sl.89 • 8 stotes @ 0.75. I could see that the cost varied but I had to sit down to figure out whether or not I was right. If it does turn out that this mouth-watering dish Is at most Si, then I’ll throw a big cheesy panv in our next statistics lab, with enough macaroni and cheese for just me. (After all, as a poor starving student I can’t be expected to feed our class of animals!)“William Shakespeare: The Tragedy of Hamlet. Prince of Denmark,” by Jacqueline Ghodsi THE CHARACTERS (in order of appearance): • HAMLET, Prince of Denmark and student of Statistics • POLONIUS, Hamlet’s tutor • HOROTIO, friend to Hamlet and fellow student Scene: The great library of the castle. In which Hamlet does his lessons Act I (The day is fair, but the face of Hamlet is clouded. He paces the large room. His tutor, Polonius, is teprimanding Hamlet regarding the latter’s recent experience. Horatio Is seated at the large table at right stage.) POLONIUS: M Lord, how cans’t thou admit that thou hast seen a ghost! It Is but a figment of your imagination! HAMLET: I beg to differ; I know of a certain! that five-and-seventy in one hundred of us, condemned to the whips and scorns of time as we are, have gazed upon a spirit of health, or goblin damn’d, be their Interns wicked or charitable. POLONIUS If thou doest Insist upon thy wretched vision then let me invest your time; be true to thy work and speak to me through the reason of the null and alternate hypotheses. (He turns to Horatio.) Did no Hamlet himself say. “What piece of work is man, how noble In reason, how Infinite in faculties? Then let no this foolishness persist. Go. Horatio, make a survey of three-and-sixty and discover what the true proportion be. For my part. I will never succumb to this fantasy, but deem man to be devoid of all reason should thy proposal of at least five-and-seventy In one hunched hold true. HORATIO (to Hamlet): What should we do. my Lord? HAMLET: Go to thy purpose. Horatio. HORATIO: To what end, my Lord? HAMLET: That you must teach me. But let me conjure you by the rights of our fellowship, by the consonance of our youth. but the obligation of our ever-preserved love, be even and direct with me, whether I am right or no. (Horatio exits, followed by Polonius, leaving Hamlet to ponder alone.) Act II (The next day. Hamlet awaits anxiously the presence of his friend, Horatio. Polonius enters and places some books upon the table just a moment before Horatio enters.) POLONIUS: So. Horatio. what Is it thou dldst reveal through thy deliberations? HORATIO: In a random survey, for which purpose thou thyself sent me forth. I did discover that one-and-forty believe fervently that the spirits of the dead walk with us. Before my God, I might not this believe, without the sensible and true avouch of mine own eyes. POLONIUS: Give thine own thoughts no tongue. Horatio. (Polonlus turns to Hamlet.) But look to’t I charge you, my Lord. Come Horatio, let us go together, for this Is not our test. (Horatio and Polonius leave together.) HAMLET: To reject, or not reject, that Is the question: whether tIs nobler In the mind to suffer the slings and anows of outrageous statistics, or to take aims against a sea of data, and, by opposing, end them. (Hamlet resignedly attends to his task.) (Curtain fal1s“Untitled.” by Stephen Chen lye often wondered how software is released and sold to the public. ironically, I work foi a company that sells products with knoisii problems. Unfortunately, most of the problems aze difficult to c,eate, which makes them difficult to fbc. I usually use the test program X, which tests the product, to ny to create a specific problem. When the test program Is run ro make an error occur, the likelihood of generating an error Is 1%. So, aimed with this knowledge, I wrote a new test program Y that will generate the same error that test program X creates, but more often. To find out If m test program Is better than the original, so that I can convince the management that [m right, I ran my test piogram to find out how often I can generate the same error. When I ran my test program 50 times, I generated the error twice. While this may not seem much better, I chink that I can convince the management to use my test program instead of the original test program. Am I right?Japanese Glrls Names’ by Kumi Furnichi It used to be vet typical for Japanese girls names to end with ‘ko.’ (The tiend might have started around my grandmothers’ generation and Its peak might have been around m mother’s generation.) “Ko” means ‘chIld” In Chinese characters. Patents would name their daughters with ko” attaching to other Chinese characters which have meanings that they want their daughters to become, such as Sachlko—happv child, Yoshlko—a good child. Yasuko—a healthy child, and so on. Howevet, I noticed recently that only two out of nine of my Japanese girlfriends at this school have names which end with “ko.” More and more, patents seem to have become cteative, modernized, and, sometimes, westernized In naming their children, I have a feeling that, whIle 70 percent or more of my mother’s generation would have names with “ko” at the end, the proportion has dropped among m peers. I wrote down all m Japanese friends’, ex-classrnates’. co-workers, and acquaintances’ names that I could remember. Following are the names. (Some are repeats.)

He asked his mother If it is okay To get his ear pierced. She said, “No way!” To poke a hole through your ear, Is not what I want for you, dear. He argued his point quite well, Says even my macho pal, Mel, Has gotten this done. It’s all just for fun. C’mon please, mom, please, what the hell. Again Phillip complained to his mother, Saving half his friends (including their brothers) Are piercing their ears And they have no fears He wants to be like the others. She said, “I think it’s much less. We must do a hypothesis test. And If you are iight, I won’t put up a fight. But, if not, then my case will rest.” We proceeded to call fifty guys To see whose prediction would fly. Nineteen of the fifty Said piercing was nifty And earrings they’d occasionally buy. Then there’s the other thirty-one, Who said they’d never have this done. So now this poem’s finished. Will his hopes be diminished, Or will my nephew have his fun?“The Craven,” by Mark Salangsang Once upon a morning dreary In stats class I as weak and weary. Pondering over last night’s homework Whose answers were now on the board This I did and nothing more. While I nodded nearly napping Suddenly, there came a tapping. As someone gently rapping, Rapping my head as I snore. Quoth the teacher, “Sleep no more,” “In every class you fall asleep,” The teacher said, his voice was deep. “So a tally I’ve begun to keep Of every class you nap and snore. The percentage being forty-four.” “Mv deai teacher I must confess, While sleeping is what I do best. The percentage, I think, must be less, A percentage less than forty-four.” This I said and nothing more. “We’ll see,” he said and walked away, And fifty classes from that day He counted till the month of May The classes in which I napped and snored. The number he found was twenty-four. At a significance level of 0.05, Please tell me am I still alive? Or did my grade just take a dive Plunging down beneath the floor? Upon thee I hereby implore.Toastmasters Inteniational cites a repol by Gallop Poll that .10°O of Americans fear public speaking.
