Hey cool kids, we’re hip to your jive…
My fiancée had a research problem for her students. They had to ask a question with a quantitative response. Then they had to find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Us old fogies can’t decode one of the questions. What does it mean, “How many times have you gotten zapped in the past month?” Given the responses, we’re hoping it isn’t slang for getting high (seriously, you’d have to be rich to get high 20 times in one month). Also, if that were the case, she’d have to turn the test into the assistant principal. Santa Barbara is humid enough that noticeable static electric discharge isn’t very common, either. Any ideas?
