Summer is here, at least when this cache came out, so there is no math homework to do! However, there is a short lesson about a very famous statistician named John Tukey. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in July 1915, Tukey was the only child of Ralph H. and Adah M. (Tasker) Tukey. His parents recognized the great potential in their son at a very early age and decided to school him at home. Home schooling was convenient for Tukey since both of his parents were teachers. Tukey made many advances in the area of statistics including the Box-and-Whisker Plot, the Stem-and-Leaf Diagram, and Tukey's Paired Comparisons. All of these methods and more of his are used today.
Famous Tukey quote:
"An appropriate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem."
