Deaf Restaurant Owner and Manager - Danny Delcambre

Danny Delcambre is the first Deaf-Blind founder and operator of a Seattle restaurant. Having grown up in Louisiana, prime Cajun country, Danny appropriately named his restaurant Ragin Cajun. Danny has Usher's Syndrome- tunnel vision, difficulty seeing in poor light, poor balance, congenital deafness. A student of world renowned chef Paul Prudhomme, Danny is experienced in the fine art of cooking. Named the Small Business Employer of the Year by President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton and subsequently followed by the Small Businessman of the Year awards by the City of Seattle and the State of Washington, his path to success was not easy though. Delcambre's Ragin Cajun Restaurant employed three deaf employees, three hearing employees who knew sign language of which 2 persons worked full-time and four persons worked part time.

One of Danny's responsibilities as a restaurant manager is handling reservations. Before the restaurant opens for the day, the he inspects the reservation list. Then the wait staff groups the tables according to the size of the parties the restaurant is expecting. The staff combines tables to seat a range of group sizes from the smallest to the largest.

Solve.

1. The hourly pay rates of the six employees are: $9, $7.50, $5 .50, $5.50, $7, $8.50. Help Danny make a frequency table of the data. What are the highest and lowest pay rates? What is the range of pay rates?

2. On a typical day, the deaf employee whose hourly rate is $9 works for 8 hours. The deaf employee whose hourly rate is $8.50 works for 10 hours. Two hearing employers whose hourly rate is $5 .50 works for 12 hours and 10 hours, respectfully. The deaf employee whose hourly rate is $7 works for 9 hours. The last employee works for 10.5 hours at an hourly rate of $6.50. How much does Danny pay to his employees, in total, on a typical day?

3. Danny expects the size of the parties on one evening to be: 6, 2, 6, 2, 8, 10, 4, 2, 15, 8. On average, 20% of the parties order Danny's special, Stuffed Flounder with Craw.fish Etouffee.

5

Page 6: Module for Middle and High School Mathematics Teachers of the Deaf by Alvin C. Boyd

a. How many of the owner's specials does Danny estimate he will have to cook for that evening? Round up to the nearest whole number.

b. If the special entree costs $16.99 each, how much does Danny estimate he will earn that evening?

4. One of the restaurant's famous entrees is Shrimp Creole. Danny has to buy shrimp for this entree. Shrimp is sold by size. Shrimp sizes are expressed in counts per pound. Danny orders the large size Wild American shrimp which are counted 31 to 35 shrimp per pound, with the average count per pound of 33 shrimp. Danny orders two 5-pound boxes of shrimp, weekly. An average of 8 shrimp is used in a 10 oz serving of Shrimp Creole.

a. What's the average count of shrimp in a 5 pound box?

b. How many shrimp does Danny receive each week if he orders three 5-pound boxes each week?

c. How many servings of Shrimp Creole can be prepared in one week (based on the original order of shrimp)?

5. The accounting department of the Delcambre's Ragin Cajun Restaurant is checking to see whether the actual expenses of a department differ from the budgeted expenses by more than $500 or by more than 5%. Fill in the missing information, and determine whether each actual expense passes the "budget variance test."

Budgeted Expense, b Actual Expense, a I a-b I 5% of the budgeted

exTJenses (b) ·Wages $112,700 $113,356 Utilities $9,400 $9,772 Taxes $37,640 $37,335 Insurance $2,575 $2,613

6. Danny purchases a new stainless steel stove top oven for $125,000. The depreciated value y after t years is

y = 125,000- 10,000t,

a. Sketch the graph of the equation. b. What is the value of the stove top oven after 3 years? c. What will happen to the value of the stove top oven after 6 years? Explain

Christy Smith received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology/criminology from Gallaudet University. She most recently worked as a children's adventure guide for the Aspen Camp School for the Deaf. Christy is called the Deaf Survivor from the reality television show, "Survivor." Her favorite hobbies are socializing, doing anything outdoors and writing letters. She has traveled to Costa Rica and spent 50 days on a wilderness adventure trip in Alaska with Outward Bound. She describes herself as independent and goal-oriented.

As an adventure guide, Christy leads groups of people on outdoor adventure trips. The trips may involve activities such as hiking, camping, mountain climbing, white-water rafting, and cross-country skiing. Christy is athletic, a good leader, and relates will with others. The best guides know the climate of the region and a little of its history and geography. They should also be familiar with the region's plants and animals, and they should know first aid and CPR.

For overnight hiking, or camping trips, and Christy will recommend different kinds of sleeping bags. Sleeping bags have temperature ratings that list the lowest temperature for which the bags are suitable . The temperature in Celsius degrees 'C' can be changed to Fahrenheit degrees 'F' by the formula F = (115) • (9C + 160).

Solve. 1. Christy has four sleeping bags with temperature ratings of+ 10°C, +5°C, -5°C and

-15°C. Which sleeping bag should Christy recommend hikers take if she expects the temperature to drop below 32°F? Explain.

2. Christy has five sleeping bags with temperature ratings of 20°C, l 5°C, 10°C, 5° C and 0°C. Which sleeping bag should Christy recommend hikers take if she expects the temperature to be no less than 59°F? Explain.

3. Rearrange the temperature formula that will allow you to find the temperature in Celsius degrees 'C' based on given Fahrenheit degrees 'F'.

C=

Page 8: Module for Middle and High School Mathematics Teachers of the Deaf by Alvin C. Boyd

4. Order the temperature ratings -20°F, -5°C, 0°F, -l0°C, and !5°F from greatest to least (for both Fahrenheit and Celsius).

5. Every day Christy receives a signal in her GPS weather device that she carries with her when she partakes in a hiking trip twice, once in the noon and another in the late evening. One day in her hiking trip in the Appalachian Mountains she received two signals with information on weather. At noon, the temperature was 87°F. Late in the evening, the temperature was 68°C. Use the formula to find the corresponding temperature at noon in Celsius. Round to the nearest hundredth. What is the range of the temperature (in Celsius) during that day?"

6. Draw a graph depicting the relationship between the Celsius degrees and Fahrenheit degrees.

Deaf Statistician - H. Latham Breunig

H. Latham Breunig, Ph.D., resided in Arlington, Virginia. He retired from Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana. Dr. Breunig was born hard-of-hearing; then he lost more hearing after scarlet fever at the age of five, and became deaf at age seven as the result of a skull fracture. He attended Wabash College, Indiana; earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University; and also studied at Purdue University, Indiana, in the field of Statistics and Quality Control.

Among the many organizations where Dr. Breunig has been active are the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped; the American Statistical Association; the Clarke School for the Deaf; and the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf, where he has served on the Board of Directors for the past twenty-four years, two of them as President. He founded the nonprofit organization, Telecommunications for the Deaf in 1968, and was Chief Executive Officer until 1978. He has been active in the development of oral interpreters for deaf people.

Special awards presented to Dr. Breunig have included the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped Commendation by President Johnson in 1967. In 1977, Teletypewriters for the Deaf, Inc. made him the first recipient of its H. Latham Breunig Award. Dr. Breunig was honored by Wabash College in 1984 with its Alumni Award of Merit. Latham Breunig, a former member of the presidential commission on deafness.

Other Statisticians, like Breunig, would help to design surveys and experiments. They also collect, analyze, and interpret numerical data. Some work for businesses and some work in government.

Statisticians often use samples to collect information. A sample provides information about a small group within a much larger group. They can then take what they learned about the small group and apply it to the larger group.

Statisticians decide where and how to gather the data. They choose the sample size. They decide about the type of survey. They tell workers who gather the data how to do their job. They process the collected data and reach conclusions about the data. They do this with the help of computer software.

CSD (Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc.) and USA Deaf Sports Federation (USADSF) appointed Melody Tsai as USADSF home office administrator at its new home office location in Sioux Falls, S.D. Born in Hong Kong, Tsai began her education at the Philippines Association of the Deaf in Manila, later transferring to the Canossian School for the Deaf in Singapore. She later moved to California, where she graduated from the California School for the Deaf-Fremont (CSDF) in 1992.

After attending the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester (N.Y.) Institute of Technology and Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., Tsai earned a Bachelor of Science degree in hospitality management from San Francisco State University in San Francisco, Calif.

Melody is a multi-talented worker responsible for many office tasks. Some of her responsibilities include supervising employees, maintaining databases, receiving and sending bills, ordering supplies, scheduling appointments, organizing meetings and working with the company's budge (Accounts Receivable bookkeeping, Accounts Payable, and payroll).

Solve.

a. Does the she have enough money in the budget to purchase the 1,000 packets plus the cost of the design fee? Explain.

b. How much would Melody's budget need to be in order for her to purchase 1,000 packets?

3. Melody's supervisor often travels from the United States to Japan to attend business conferences. As such, she needs to convert US dollars to Japanese Yen for her supervisor to conduct any business transaction.

If a certain item cost 150,000 yen r, how much would it be in US dollars? Today, the exchange rate for 1 dollar is 115 yens. Round the amount to the nearest hundredth. (Research the internet for a more current exchange rate.)

4. Occasionally, Melody has to use her personal car to conduct business transactions for her company and attend professional development workshops. She receives $120 per day for lodging and meals plus $0.35 per mile driven.

a. Write a linear equation giving the daily cost C to the company in terms of x, the number of miles driven.

b. What would be the company's total cost for Melody's 5 day, 432 mile round trip drive to Santa Monica, CA?

5. Melody's department sends its copying to the photocopy center of her company. The center bills her department $0.10 per page. Melody has investigated the possibility of buying a departmental copier for $3000. With department's own copier, the cost per page would be $0.03. The expected life of the copier is 4 years. How many copies must you make in the four-year period to justify buying the copier? Explain.

6. Melody's company has a 40l(K) Profit Sharing Plan for employees. Employees may defer up to 15% of their salary to the profit sharing plan. This is a great benefit to employees. Not only is the deferral "pre-tax", the company offers a "match" on the deferral.

The 401 (K) amount is deducted from the gross payroll before Federal and State taxes are deducted. The company matches $.50 on the dollar up to 3% of salary. Payment for the deferrals and company match must be sent to the Trust each pay period. Their names of six employees, their monthly salary, and their chosen deferral percentage are listed below.

What is the total check amount to the Trust each pay period?

Deaf Baker - Jimmy Libman

Jimmy Libman, who is deaf, received the Our Way Achievement Award as the co­founder of the highly successful "Gimmee Jimmy's Cookies." Jimmy launched his cookie company 22 years ago from his childhood home in West Orange, N.J. with his mother's cookie recipe. Gimmee Jimmy's produces at least 20 varieties of handmade home-style cookies. Among the top sellers are chocolate chip, chocolate chip M&M™ (different colors of the candy reflect the seasons and holidays) and chocolate chip walnut. Jimmy plans to expand the menu to include muffins, brownies and other bakery items as well as coffee and cappuccino drinks.

Jimmy runs his own business. As well as knowing how to bake, he must know about nutrition, business administration, marketing, and health and safety regulations.

Jimmy must adapt recipes to bake smaller or bigger cakes, cookies, and brownies. When the recipe contains fractions, bakers must multiply and divide fractions.

Solve.

7 Y, cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking soda 3 pinches of salt 1 Yi cups light brown sugar, firmly packed 3 cups granulated sugar 6 eggs 6 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups butter or margarine, room temperature 3 packages (36 ounces or 6 cups) semisweet chocolate chips

5. Wheat flour and sugar are two basic ingredients necessary to bake two items: a loaf of bread and a muffin. Jimmy has 25 pounds of wheat flour and 5 pounds of sugar. To bake each loaf of bread, Jimmy needs to use 2 pounds of wheat flour and 1 pound of sugar. To bake each muffin, Jimmy needs 1 pound of wheat flour and 0.5 pound of sugar.

a. Set up the inequalities representing the baker's possible choices for baking the number ofloaves of bread and muffins to use up his available resources (wheat flour and sugar). Bread= x and Muffins = y

b. Solve inequalities for y

c. Graph the inequalities

d. Find the possible solutions and make a table ofx and y that satisfies the two inequalities.

e. If Jimmy makes 2 loaves of bread would he be able to make 7 muffins, given the resources he has? Why or why not?

6. Jimmy has a secret ingredient that makes his cakes moist and tasty. The secret ingredient is butterfat. Milk that has 5% butterfat mixed with milk that has 2% butterfat. Jimmy wants to know how much of each is needed to obtain 60 gallons of milk that has 3% butterfat. 3% butterfat milk is a mixture of 5% butterfat milk and 2% butterfat milk. Find how much of each milk is needed to obtain 60 gallons of milk that has 3% butterfat.

Deaf Inspector - Kathy Wigley

Kathy Wigley is a machine parts inspector, is the first deaf inspector at Raytheon. Raytheon is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security, and other government markets throughout the world. Kathy is a fourth-generation deaf family member. "I've never been afraid because I'm deaf. It is a challenge; but I take and accept that challenge," said Kathy.

Kathy is a machine parts inspector but there are other kinds of inspectors such as a Consumer Safety Inspector. A Consumer Safety Inspector inspects items such as food, animal feeds, pesticides, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Inspectors visit manufacturing facilities that produce manufacturing facilities that produce, handle, store, or market consumer products. Part of their job is to ensure that products are labeled correctly and that weights and contents are accurate. They also check for contamination that could have resulted from unsterilized processing equipment or unsanitary food handling.

Solve.

1. Sup pose a law states that only . 7 5 % of a sample of metal panels may be discolored. Calculate what the percent of a sample is discolored if the Kathy finds that 3 metal panels out of a sample of 500 are discolored. Would the metal panels pass inspection based on the sample? Explain.

2. Suppose a health law states that only .5% of a sample of chocolate may be contaminated. Calculate what percent of a sample is contaminated if 4.5 gallons of chocolate milk out of a sample of 800 gallons are contaminated. Based on the sample, would the chocolate milk pass inspection? Explain.

23

3. Kathy collected I 0 samples of 500 mechanical parts and found that each sample has x defective mechanical parts.

SAMPLES Number of Defective Mechanical Parts

Sample I IO Sample 2 7 Sample 3 11 Sample 4 2 Sample 5 4 Sample 6 14 Sample 7 9 Sample 8 8 Sample 9 17

Sample IO 6

a. Find the average percentage of mechanical parts that is defective.

b. If the company's policy states that an average I% of the mechanical parts is allowable, did the inspection with the ten samples pass the policy's requirement? Explain.

4. Radars for shipment at the Raytheon owned factory come down a ramp in single file. Kathy checks every third radar, beginning with the third. Her partner checks every fifth. If 98 radars came down the ramp while both inspectors were working on Monday, how many of these radars were not checked by either of these two inspectors.

5. Suppose Kathy oversees a team of six inspectors. Kathy decides that she needs a three-person group to check mechanical parts at a Raytheon-owned factory. The team members are Alvin, Chris, Erin, Gerry, Mitchell, and Thomastine (A, C, E, G, M, and T, for short). How many groups could be formed from the six team members?

a. Count the possible groups by listing them all.

b. Use this formula, "C' = n! , to find the number of possible (n- r)!xr!

combinations if we make r selections from a group of n items.

c. Does your answer for b match your answer for a?

6. Kathy obtained several readings of the range between the center of a wafer and various points on the edge of a wafer this process is called Center to Edge (CTE). She then logs the readings in a table (See below). She then calculates the CTE and compares it with a critical value to determine ifthe process is accurate. The critical value is I 000.

Determine whether Process A and Process B are accurate (absolute value is less than 1000).

Deaf Climatologist-Vincent "Bim" Wood

Vincent "Bim" Wood, a research meteorologist, has been deaf since infancy. Bim conducted a nine-month survey, after tornadoes struck Oklahoma on May 3, 1999, that revealed 81 percent of deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the state of Oklahoma have experienced fear about being unprepared for weather emergencies. He also found they have relatively limited ways of knowing severe weather is imminent. Bim has helped initiate a new program with the Hazardous Weather Pager Program that sends life-saving weather messages via pagers to deaf and hard of hearing subscribers. Bim received the "Public Personnel Employee Award" from the Oklahoma City mayor's Committee on Disability Concerns for his work.

A research meteorologist is very similar to a climatologist who studies the climate and weather patterns and makes summaries from these patterns. The formation in these summaries can be used in the design of heating and cooling systems, and sometimes in the design of entire buildings. Bim can use terms such as mean, median, and mode in his climate summaries.

Solve: 1. Suppose a building in an area with lots of sunlight and heat needs a more

powerful air conditioning system than a building in an area with much less sunlight and heat. Bim wants to find the mean, median, and mode for this set of temperatures in his climate summaries. Once Bim has found the mean, median, or mode, which method/s of finding the average would provide him the best information to make a decision about the air conditioning system needed?

100°, 93°, 85°, 75°, 89°, 92°, 81°, 96°, 88°, 93°

2. Suppose a building in an area with lots of snow needs to have a more powerful heating system than a building in an area with no snow. Bim wants to find the mean, median, and mode for this set of temperatures in his climate summaries. Once Bim has found the mean, median, or mode, which method of finding the average would provide him the best information to make a decision about the heating system needed?

14°, 0°, 17°, 5°, 13°, 9°, 12°, 16°, 8°, 12°

26

Page 27: Module for Middle and High School Mathematics Teachers of the Deaf by Alvin C. Boyd

3. After calculating the mean, median, and mode for this set of temperatures in his climate summaries, Bim accidentally deleted one temperature from the set. Find the missing temperature.

1 o, 1 o, -80, 90, 00, _30, 50, -2o, Io, -60, -

Mean: -1° Median: 0° Mode: 1°

4. After calculating the mean, median, and mode for this set of temperatures in his climate summaries, Bim accidentally deleted two temperatures from the set. Find the two missing temperatures.

45°, 61°, 52°, 42°, 43°, 53°, 53°, 46°, 62°, 47°, ' --

Mean: 49.75° Median: 46°, 47° Mode: 42°, 53°

5. Bim has an electronic device that is to be operated in an environment with relative humidity h in the interval defined by jh - SOI :'S 30. What are the minimum and maximum relative humidities for the operation of this device?

6. Citizens of the United States primarily use the Fahrenheit scale, the rest of the world uses the Celsius scale, and Bim also uses the Celsius and Kelvin scale. Since there are three different scales used to measure temperature, it seems reasonable to have formulas for changing or converting from one scale to another. The Kelvin scale is a scale that measures temperatures beginning with absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature at which matter can exist. The Kelvin is often used in the measure of the color temperature of light sources. For the problems below, round to the nearest whole number.

F0 = (1/5) • (9C0 + J 60).

K= C0 +273

27

Page 28: Module for Middle and High School Mathematics Teachers of the Deaf by Alvin C. Boyd

a. If the temperature is 75° Fahrenheit, what are the equivalent readings on the Celsius and Kelvin scales?

b. If the temperature is 26° Celsius, what are the equivalent readings on the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales?

c. If the temperature is 288 Kelvin, what are the equivalent readings on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?

d. Create a formula to determine the Kelvin temperature given the degrees in Fahrenheit.

Deaf Animator - Mark Fisher

Born Deaf, Mark Fisher attended the Archbishop Ryan Memorial Institute in Philadelphia and later the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deafin New Jersey. He holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Gallaudet University. He is recognized as the first successful Deaf animator, working on several well-known films such as: Universal's Land Before Time, Disney's The Little Mermaid and Prince and the Pauper, Nest Entertainment's The Swan Princess, Morgan Creek's Stayed Tuned and Warner Bros' Thumbelina and The King and I, in addition to having worked on several TV cartoons series for Universal, Warner Bros. and others as a storyboarder/revisionist. Fisher's Elves and the Bat Beast was chosen Best Animation at the Atlantic City Film Festival, held August 4, 2001 in New Jersey.

Although Mark is skilled at drawing by hand, most animators draw using computer software. He must not only be a good artist, but he must also know how to use computer graphics and animation software. As computer software improves, Mark must master it to help him create better animation sequences efficiently.

Solve.

I . Mark draws a magic treasure chest that can disappear and reappear in another place. The magic treasure chest's points are (-4, 5), (-2, 5), (-1, 4), (-1, 2), (-5 , 2), and (-5, 4) and Mark wants to have the chest disappear and then reappear in another place. Use transformation, shifting or translating upwards 6 units (0, +6) to find where the magic treasure chest will reappear.

2. In the movie, Land Before Time, a Quetzalcoatlus moves so that its left wing has the coordinates (-2, 1), (2, 1), (-2, 12), (2, 12) and (0, 16). Calculate the coordinates of the Quetzalcoatl us' left wing reflection in the lake (across the x­axis).

3. Mark draws furniture that can move around and rearrange themselves. The triangular shaped table is has the coordinates of (1, 0), (2, 1 ), and (-1, 3 ). Mark draws the table walking to another area in the room. What are the new coordinates of the table if Mark used 270° rotation to move the table (rotate at origin)?

29

Page 30: Module for Middle and High School Mathematics Teachers of the Deaf by Alvin C. Boyd

4. Based on the previous question #1 the magic chest is never in one place very long, Mark wants to move the chest again.

a. After the treasure chest moved upwards 6 units in the first problem, it is then shifted or translated 1 unit right and 7 units down(+ 1, -7). Find its coordinated points.

b. Find where the magic treasure chest will reappear next after it appeared rotated 180° (rotate at origin). What are the new coordinates of the chest?

5. In one of Mark's cartoons, a van moves so that its corners are at (-6, 1), (-3, 1), (-3, 6), (-5, 6) and (-6, 4).

a. Calculate the coordinates of the van's reflection in the window of a near by building (across the y-axis).

b. To show the van's reflection moving in the window, Mark will shift or translate 5 units up (0, 5).

6. The corners of king's throne in the cartoon movie, The King and I, are at (8, 7), (12, 7), (8, 18) and (12, 18).

a. Calculate the coordinates of the king's throne reflection on the shiny golden floor (across the x-axis).

b. Calculate the coordinates of the king's throne ifthe reflection is then shifted or translated 14 units left and 2 units up (-14, 2)?

c. Calculate the coordinates of the king's throne if the translation is rotated about the origin 90°.

e. No, Jimmy would not be able to make 2 loaves of bread and 7 muffins. Jimmy would only have enough sugar to make 6 muffins when he makes 2 loaves of bread.

6. 20 gallons of the 5% butterfat milk and 40 gallons of 2% butterfat milk

Deaf Inspector I. Yes, the metal panels would pass inspection based on the sample because 3 metal

panels out of a sample of 500 are discolored. 3 out of 500 equals .6% which is less than the allowable .75% discolored.

2. No, the chocolate milk would not pass inspection based on the sample, because 4.5 gallons of a sample of 800 gallons was contaminated. 4.5 gallons out of 800 gallons equals .5625% which exceeds the .5% allowable contaminated chocolate milk.

3. a. The average percentage of mechanical parts that is defective is 1. 76%.

b. No, the inspection with 10 samples did not pass the policy 's requirement, because the average percentage of mechanical parts that is defective equals 1.76% which exceeds the allowable average of I% defective mechanical parts.

4. Kathy checks 32, her partner checks 19. Of these, 6 are common. 32 + 19 - 6 = 45

98 - 45 = 53 radars were not checked by either.

CTEA = 4 - 23500 = -1375

CTEs = 4 - 19000 = 425

Process B is accurate because it has a CTE range less than the critical value of I 000.
