February 21, 200521 yr How would one present a trip to a Marlins game as an educational experience? It's a fantastic social and cultural event?
February 21, 200521 yr That would be a bad ass field trip. What the chances of that happening? Back in 8th grade, everyone wanted to go to Six Flags as a graduation field trip. The Board didn't approve. We wound up going to Wisconsin Dells just like the previous graduating classes.
February 21, 200521 yr We always went to boring ass Colonial Williamsburg. 691719[/snapback] Only good thing about that place is it's -How I make a living -full of William and Mary men and women.
February 21, 200521 yr I got to go to a Bobcats game with my Sports Marketing class a couple weeks ago. We had to listen to some speeches from like marketing executives a couple hours before the game though which were boring as hell. It was fun though.
February 21, 200521 yr We always went to boring ass Colonial Williamsburg. 691719[/snapback] Ya Williamsburg was never that great of a field trip

February 21, 200521 yr Author So any ideas that would make this trip sound educational? It's gonna be a Junior class trip so it'd have to be like not centered around one class.
February 21, 200521 yr The Marlins have an educational curriculum in place. They have Math, Reading, and other subjects. I believe that the Math one includes keeping score of the game and figuring out RBI, Batting Averages, etc. for the game.
February 21, 200521 yr So any ideas that would make this trip sound educational? It's gonna be a Junior class trip so it'd have to be like not centered around one class. 691741[/snapback] When is the trip and is it during the school day?

February 21, 200521 yr Find the standard deviation and variance of the Marlins' batting averages. :whistle

Anyway, if the class has to vote on it. Don't count on it. Pick something that everyone would like. If there was a trip to Cubs game, I wouldn't go unless it's against the White Sox, Marlins, or the Cardinals.
February 21, 200521 yr Find the standard deviation and variance of the Marlins' batting averages. :whistle 691762[/snapback] Thats actually simple to do.
February 21, 200521 yr There's no educational value to be had from going to a baseball game. I guess you can drop the problem kids out in the neighborhoods around Dolphin Stadium and tell them that's how they'll end up if they don't get a good education.
February 21, 200521 yr How would one present a trip to a Marlins game as an educational experience? It's a fantastic social and cultural event? 691715[/snapback] It shows the value of teamwork.

I guess you can drop the problem kids out in the neighborhoods around Dolphin Stadium and tell them that's how they'll end up if they don't get a good education. Baseball's the most educational sport of the 4 (well, 3 now) since it's so mathematically oriented. And it shows you that failure 7 times out of ten is ok.

February 21, 200521 yr Baseball is a prime example of the rags-to-riches philosophy that was so prominent in the early stages of our nation's history.
February 22, 200521 yr I've done it. The mean batting average of the 2005 starting lineup from last year is .284 with a standard deviation of .025. I can also say I am 99% confident the mean batting average for the starting 8 in 2005 will be between .251 and .318.
February 22, 200521 yr I can also say I am 99% confident the mean batting average for the starting 8 in 2005 will be between .251 and .318. 691869[/snapback] :plain i don't think you need math to do that

Or that I'm 75% conident its between .272 and 296. Statistics is incredably easy.
February 22, 200521 yr ap stats is so boring. its all about following gay procedure over and over and over again. probably the worst class i've ever taken.
