Maths teachers - how do you explain to your students how the graph of y=f(x) is transformed to give the graph of y=f(2x-6)?

I agree - the critical region at the bottom is X<=104, this is equivalent to X<104.5 with the continuity correction. This is the largest "something .5" value that is possible which is less than the value of 104.51 that comes from the inverse normal.

I've just seen this definition of an "antilibrary". It's amused me as I own Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb but I've not read it!

I think 50% is a fraction. A fraction is a way of writing a number when it has been divided (i.e. fractured). In common usage this is anything that is not a whole number so 1/2, 0.5 and 50% are all fractions.

I really like this and think it's a nice visualisation but wonder if there's an issue around sampling with/without replacement. It samples with (which we want) but you can sometimes get two dots in the same place (see this for n=20 - there's 19 dots)

What is it the GeoGebra is struggling with? I've found the TaylorPolynomial command usable for most stuff I've needed and able to go way past the seventh term.

I've used an alternative approach to achieve the same thing:
a=-10
{x<a}y=x³-x
Putting the domain restriction first means that the students don't see it plotted, then you can do a slow reveal with the slider.

Just been reading the OU report on Mathematical and Data Literacy published as part of the Royal Society's Mathematical Futures programme.
There are some really good examples of how data science courses can complement maths, including @MEIMaths courses.
