Statistics and Probability Use groups of 2. Materials: Index cards

Money Matters

Survey at least twenty people. Give each person being surveyed an index card and have him or her write the following information at the top of the card: name, age, and M for male or F for female. Ask, "Which famous American's portrait appears on the following bills: $1, $5, $10, $20, $100?" (The correct answers appear below.)

One partner makes a table that can be used for quickly determining whether more males or females know the portraits on U.S. money. The other partner makes a table that can be used for quickly determining whether there is a relationship between one's age and the number of portraits one can correctly identify.
