Over your lifetime, how much money will you earn for each hour of homework you done? Coming from the standpoint of me being an NFL Player and earning the rookie minimum salary

August 19, 2023August 19, 2023 Discipline: Mathematics

Topics:

  • Over your lifetime, how much money will you earn for each hour of homework you do/have done? (I’m a 5th Year senior at a university) In other words, if you consider all the money you will make in your lifetime and divided it by all the hours you do homework in your life, how much money did each hour of homework earn you?

    • Hints:

    • How many hours do you spend doing homework a week? What about a year? Was that number different when you were in high school? Elementary school?
    • How many years have you done homework?
    • What salary do you anticipate having in the future? (NFL Salary) How much have you already earned? (I have never had a job before)
    • How long do you anticipate working at that salary?
  • Assuming only one Santa Claus visited all the Christian/Christmas-celebrating children on Christmas Eve, how fast would he have to travel? Consider giving your answer in units like houses visited per second, although other units are also acceptable.

    • Hints:

    • How many children are in the world?
    • How many children per household?
    • What percentage of the world is Christian/celebrates Christmas?
    • If Santa travels west, he would gain time via time zones, and have a total of 31 hours to deliver gifts.

Project Outline

Problem

Clearly state the problem you are exploring.

Gather Information

What information (measurements, facts, values, formulas, etc.) or data did you need to gather to answer the question? How and where did you get this information? If you couldn’t find the needed information, give it your best estimate and explain why you think your estimate is reasonable.

Analyze

This is the main part of your paper. Describe the process you went through to make sense of the information you collected, to organize an approach to solve the problem, and to determine an answer to your question. Make sure your math is correct. A good quantitative reasoning analysis will discuss things that are not purely mathematical. Take into account and discuss other aspects of real life that will affect the question you are exploring and the decision you will make, even if these aspects aren’t quantifiable (representable numerically). This section may include graphs or other visual representations of data.

Interpret and Act

Provide a clear and complete substantive answer to your question. Come to a clear conclusion or decision. Then interpret the answer: What does the answer mean for you? How does the answer solve the problem? How can you use the answer in your everyday life?

Reflect and Inquire Again

Do not forget to include this section in your project! Now that you have the answer, is there something you would do differently? What new questions arise from your answer? How could you extend this problem? What further questions could you now explore if you had more time?

2.     Information gathered makes sense in the context of the questions being asked. (1 point)

3.     Student accurately explains why this data/info was collected. (1 point)

___/3

Analyze

1.     Mathematical computation is accurate and correct. (4 points)

**If the mathematical computations are incorrect, the student cannot get full points in the categories below.

2.     Student presents an organized approach to walking the reader through each step of the problem-solving process. (1 point)

3.     The analysis takes into account any aspects of real-life that may affect their reasoning process. (1 point)

Interpret and Act

1.     Student’s conclusion or answer to the question is clearly stated. (1 point)

2.     The student interprets the data. (4 points)

3.     The student discusses how this conclusion can be applied to their life. (1 point)

**If the answer is unclear and the student doesn’t state any application to their life then the student receives a zero for this section.

___/6

Reflect and Inquire Again

1.     Student reflects deeply on the results. (2 points)

2.     Student states how this problem can be further explored, extended, or analyzed. (1 point)
