Approximation Paper
Your paper should be approximately 3 pages double spaced (~750-1000 words).
Papers can talk directly about a mathematical topic related to approximation, they can be a personal reflection, and an expository talk relating approximation to something in history, design, culture...you name it! Above all, make sure your writing is focused and specific. However approximation appears in your paper, write about it with as much precision as you can.
A good paper should include a working definition of approximation that is relevant to your topic, and outside references. Good papers are readable (avoid typos and grammatical mistakes).
Avoid a paper that is a simple laundry list of approximation problems in your life. Write about something you find interesting or that you care about. Try to find a way to quantify the approximation problem that you want to discuss. Looking for interesting approximation mistakes is often very insightful.

Write an essay of 2–3 pages that contains the following:
A complete overview of the data, identifying anomalies in different weeks, and the weeks that the data are not regular.
Choose 5 different sections of data, examine these sections, and provide the specific selection process and criteria you used to select this data set.
Provide the measures of tendency and dispersion for each of the 5 different sections of data you selected.
Provide 1 chart or graph for each of the 5 processed sections. This may be a pie or bar chart or a histogram.
Label the chart or graph clearly.
Explain why the graph you provided gave a good visual representation of the data.
Based on your explanation above, identify some specific advantages why, in general, charts and graphs are important in conveying information in a visual format.
Determine the standard deviation and variation for each of the 5 selected sections of data, and explain their importance in statistical analysis of a data set.
Based on the tasks you performed in this project, research how statistics are used in information technology (IT), and provide references for your research
Your essay should include proper citation in APA formatting, both in-text, and in reference pages. Include a title page and use 12-point Times New Roman double-spaced font throughout the text.
Modeling Data on Social Media Usage
1.) Read the following article:
Perrin, A. (2015). Social media usage: 2005-2015. Pew Research Center. Retrieved from http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/10/08/social-networking-usage-2005-2015/
2.) Post one initial response of at least 150 words but not more than 350 words responding to the following. First, did anything surprise you in the article about social media trends from 2005 to 2015? Be specific as you share. Also, pick two points from one of the graphs in the article and form a y=mx+b model letting x be the number of years since 2005 and y be the percent. Then use your model to predict in what year the percent reaches 100%.
3.) Respond to at least two of your colleagues throughout the module with at least 50 words each response. You may simply give your own thoughts on what they share, or you can ask them follow-up questions.
4.) Feel free to respond to more colleagues if you like, or respond to responses. Also, answer any direct questions that are asked of you. Don't feel like you have to respond to every comment directed to you, but if someone asks you a direct question then at least answer that. Overall, make sure to be respectful and professional.

Math Problem Set 2
As part of your retirement planning, you purchase an annuity that pays 3.9% annual interest compounded quarterly
a. If you make quarterly payments of $1600 how much will you have saved in 5 years?
b. Instead, if you make quarterly payments of $800, how much will you have saved in 10 years?
#1) You plan to purchase a house for $ 375,000 and you will make a 20% down payment. You are evaluating two mortgages a 30-year fixed mortgage at 2.82% and a 15-year fixed mortgage at 2.35%. Your goal is to have a monthly payment that fits within your budget.
a. Which mortgage will give you the lowest monthly payment? What will that payment be? How much less will this be than the other monthly mortgage payment?
b. Assuming you take the full term of the mortgage, which mortgage will result in you paying the most interest? What will that interest be?
