What does it mean when a person tells you "can't wait to show you the ropes".I know it does not mean literally ''ropes'' but I don't really understand that metaphore. I'm guessing it means "i can't wait to fill you in/tell you all about it ... but that's just a guess. Does anybody know the real meaning behind it and do people still use it (a lot)?

Class is statistics (2nd year in college), and I need Ideas for a very good study. Something interesting. Here is an example on what types of a study. However, I want something new. Any Ideas?

Go to a local grocery store and collect these data for at least 75 breakfast cereals: cereal name; grams of sugar per serving; and the shelf location (bottom, middle, or top). Group the data by shelf location and use three boxplots to compare the sugar content by shelf location. [Observational data; using boxplots to summarize data, can also be used for ANOVA test; high-sugar cereals are often at child-eye height

I hear a lot of people use that as an answer to questions. I have heard that this phrase has something to do with our Constitution, but I don't really know what it is. Basically, when some says "I plead the fifth", what is it that they are pleading?

Here is the question: "Sand is falling onto a conical pile at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude. At what rate is the height of the pile changing when the pile is 15 feet high?"

Now of course, I know the answer from the back of the book, but it does me no good if I can't do it myself. The volume of a cone is as follows, since you'll probably need it for something: V=(pi/3)(r^2)(h)
r is the radius of the top of the cone, and h is the height (altitude). pi is pi (3.14...) but I don't know how to write it on the computer.

I know it also has something to do with writing the derivative like this (dh/dt) where this is h'. Remember, the time it takes to go into the pit or whatever is 10 ft^3/m. I am assuming this is the variable 't' for time.

So first person to get the correct answer and with due explanation through their method gets the best answer. Thanks in advance!
