Extended Research: Check with your instructor to see if he/she is interested in awarding extra credit to you for writing a one-page report on the following research topic: Since the actual 2003 and 2004 national average math SAT scores are already compiled, do an Internet search and find out the actual results. What are the actual results of the national math SAT scores for the years 2003 and 2004? Compare your “predicted” scores with the actual scores. How does the trend of the actual data compare to the “predicted” scores? Predict what the SAT scores will be in 2060. Justify your prediction based in mathematics, in actual results, and some common sense. You may include graphs and actual data in your report. Be sure to include a list of websites that you referenced when writing the report.
