Good morning!

Schedule: 

• Introduction 
• Learning goals
• Representing sets of data
• Homework
• Practice

Learning goals 

At the end of this lessons I can:

• Draw and read a stem-and-leaf diagram
• Calculate the measures of central tendency of any data

Measures of central tendency

Mode: The value that occurs most often 

Median: The middle value (when the data is put in order)

Mean: The average for the dataset

Measures of central tendency

Median: The middle value (when the data is put in order)

n = amount of values  

When n = odd

​2​​(n+1)​​

Median =           th value

n = 19

Measures of central tendency

Median: The middle value (when the data is put in order)

n = amount of values 

When n = even: 

Median =           th value

Take average of the middle values

​2​​(n+1)​​

n = 30

How do you feel about this subject? 

Green              I would like a challenge

Orange           I would like to have some more practice

Red                  I would like to have some more practice and some  more help

Measures of dispersion

Range: The difference between the largest and smallest value
