Mean
Median
Mode
3
Open Ended
What do you already know about one or more of these terms (Mean, Median, Mode)?
4
Mean: "average"
Median: the middle of the data
Mode: Most common (Most Often)
5
Mean: Add all numbers and divide by how many data points you have.
Median: Order the numbers least to greatest and find the middle. (If there are two, find the mean of these two.)
Mode: Find the data value that occurs most often.

Open Ended
What do you already know about one or more of these terms (Range, Inter-Quartile Range, Standard Deviation)?
11
Range: The distance between the highest and lowest data points.
Inter-Quartile Range: The distance between the lower and upper quartile. 50% of data is here.
Standard Deviation: The average distance from the mean.
12
Range: Highest - Lowest
Inter-Quartile Range: Q2 - Q1 (Q1 is the middle of the lower half, Q2 is the middle of the upper half)
Standard Deviation: USE DESMOS --> type in the data points in a table --> type stdev(x_1)
13
Match
Given the data: 2,3,3,5,7,8,8,8 identify the following:

Reorder
Put the steps to find Standard Deviation in order
Go to Desmos
Enter data into a table
type stdev(x_1)
15
Fill in the Blanks
Given the data: 2,3,3,5,7,8,8,8 find the Standard Deviation.
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
***Take a screenshot of your Desmos table to include as part of your answer***

Always type the data into a table (click the + button then table)
Mean: mean(x_1)
Median: median(x_1)
SD: stdev(x_1)
Sort a list: sort(x_1)
