Barbie Survived, but James Did Not!

The main event today took place in the cafeteria where Barbie and James bungee jumped from 4 meters. Robert stood on a tall ladder and gently urged each of our brave contestants to jump off the cliff. Each jumped with rubber band chains of 25, 30, 35 and 40 rubber bands attached to their feet. Barbie survived her jumps at 25, 30 and 35 rubber bands, but hit her head on the floor with the 40 band cord. James, on the other hand, was not as successful, and ended up crashing into the ground on his first jump with 25 rubber bands. Thanks to everyone who helped make this such a successful event.
Lilyanna and Keaton supplied the dolls, Robert dropped them, and Stephanie made the bungee jumping cords. Spotters included Albro, Keaton, Jenness, Liz, Hanna, Catherine and Taylor. Landon, Jonathan, and Steven helped with getting equipment ready, and Albro was our photographer.

Tonight's homework: Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the set of data shared in class. Then make a box and whisker plot of the data.
