From your notes, choose two or three aspects of the character you'll want to focus on. Then, figure out what your main points will be, and express each point as a general statement. This statement will serve as the topic sentence of a paragraph. Jot down the evidence you'll use to support each general statement. You'll end up with a rough outline that shows your main points and supporting evidence.

If you haven't already done so, draft a thesis statement, a one- or two-sentence summary of your main points about your character.

Choose the letter of the term that correctly identifies each underlined section.

Have you ever participated in a bicycle race? How fast did you pedal?

Why was the outcome of the 1948 election a surprise to some people? What issues did Truman raise in his campaign that helped secure his victory?

Promotional Campaign In a recent promotional campaign, a company offered these prizes and the corresponding probabilities. Find the expected value of winning. The tickets are free.

$$\begin{array}{crr} \textbf{Number of prizes} & \textbf{Amount} & \textbf{Probability} \\ \hline 1 & \ 100,000 & \frac{1}{1,000,000} \\ 2 & 10,000 & \frac{1}{50,000} \\ 5 & 1,000 & \frac{1}{10,000} \\ 10 & 100 & \frac{1}{1000} \end{array}$$

Answer in two or three sentences.

Would you withdraw from an election campaign if your rival's myrmidons hectored you at every place you tried to speak? Explain.

Based on the examples you read in this consumer insight and your own experience with CGC, what advice would you give to a marketer who is embarking on his or her first CGC campaign?

We met the Tour de France data set in Chapter 1 (in Just Checking). One hundred years ago, the fastest rider finished the course at an average speed of about $25.3 \mathrm{kph}$ (around $15.8 \mathrm{mph}$ ). By the $21 \mathrm{st}$ century, winning riders were averaging over $40 \mathrm{kph}$ (nearly $25 \mathrm{mph}$ ).

a) Make a scatterplot of Avg Speed against Year. Describe the relationship of Avg Speed by Year, being careful to point out any unusual features in the plot.

b) Find the regression equation of Avg Speed on Year.

c) Are the conditions for regression met? Comment.

Chipping from the rough, a golfer sends the ball over a $3.00$-m-high tree that is $14.0 \mathrm{~m}$ away. The ball lands at the same level from which it was struck after traveling a horizontal distance of $17.8 \mathrm{~m}$-on the green, of course. Suppose that the golf ball is launched with a speed of $15.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ at an angle of $57.5^{\circ}$ above the horizontal, and that it lands on a green $3.50 \mathrm{~m}$ above the level where it was struck. What horizontal distance does the ball cover during its flight?

The standard error (SE), which indicates how greatly the mean would likely vary if the experiment was repeated, is calculated as

$$S E=\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$$

As a rough rule of thumb, if an experiment were to be repeated, the new mean typically would lie within two standard errors of the original mean (that is, within the range $\bar{x} \pm 2 \mathrm{SE}$. Calculate $\bar{x} \pm 2 \mathrm{SE}$ for each treatment, determine whether these ranges overlap, and interpret your results.

In each of the following sentences, draw a line through each misspelled or misused word. Then, write the correct word above the misspelled or misused word.

Example 1. She had $\cancel{\text{all ready}}$ ( already ) decided to $\cancel{\text{intercede}}$ ( intercede ) on the boy's behalf.

16. The candidates have born a lot of criticism during this campaign.

Southwest Airlines begins a “Bags Fly Free” campaign, charging no fees for a first and second checked bag. Does this situation best represent producer–producer rivalry, consumer–consumer rivalry, or consumer–producer rivalry? Explain.

Observations show that the side thrust $F$, for a rough spinning ball in a fluid is a function of the ball diameter $D$, the free-stream velocity $V_0$, the density $\rho$, the viscosity $\mu$, the roughness height $k_s$, and the angular velocity of spin $\omega$. Find the dimensionless parameter(s) that would be used to correlate the experimental results of a study involving the variables noted above. Express your answer in the functional form

$$\frac{F}{V_0^2 D^2}=f\left(\pi_1, \pi_2, \pi_3\right)$$
