Statistics can be scary and overwhelming for both the students and family members. But with a little patience and some fundamental skills, the learning experience can be shared and enjoyed by all (teacher, students, family members)! I have included a few links for you to check out. They should help you better understand the basics! WE are all in this together! Thank you for your support, and remember I am always available to help!

You successfully completed the lesson! You should be very proud of your achievement!

You will complete the exercises below. Remember to pay close attention when organzing your numbers.

Determining the range is very simple; you find the lowest and highest values in your set, and subtract the lowest from highest. For example: 23, 24, 34, 45,  56. 23 is the smallest and 56 is the largest, you subtract: 56 - 23 = 33. The range is therefore 33. Making sure that you organize your numbers in ascending order makes finding the range easier. Go to Part V.

Determining the Median is very easy also. After organizing your data (in ascending order), you find the number that is in the middle: 5, 6, 9, 13, 15. In this case 9 is the middle number, and it's the Median. If you have an even set of numbers such as: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 you add the two middle numbers (4 and 5) and divide by two, that is your Median, in this case it's 4.5 (or 5). Students you will complete the worksheet below. Go to Part III when finished.

The Mode is fairly easy: it's identifying the factor that occurs most often. An example woudl be: 2, 3 , 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 19. In this case the Mode is 5, as it appears 4 times overall. You will complete the worksheet below. You will go to Part IV when you have completed the worksheet.

You have probably heard the saying "the average is such and such." The mean is just that, the "average" of all the data points in the set. To get the mean you just add all the numbers and divide by sum by the total number; 250/5 = 50.
Complete the exercise below and go to Part II when finished.

Why Is Studying Mean and Median Important?

We use Mean, Median and Mode daily:
- Students can add the sum of their tests, divide by the total to find out the average grade they are getting. This helps them know what they need to score in future tests to improve their scores.
- Median information is used daily as well: haven't you heard about the Median Salaries for X and Y jobs? How about the Median sales price of a car, home or vacation?
Stores can use Mode to see what items sell most. It's everywhere and I bet you have used them also! Now you know why it's so important to learn about Mean, Median (and Mode too)!
Students: You will need pencils, erasers, and a calculator (if you have one), if not use scratch paper to work out the problems!

- The earliest account of estimation is attributed to an ancient Indian story where Rtuparna first estimates fruits and leaves on a tree! (a)
- Homer (ancient Greece) uses more specific estimation when counting war ships. (a)
- Pythagoras (500 BC) discussed three versions of Mean values: Harmonic, Arithmetic, Geometric.
- Aristotle is the first to mention "mean" in his writings (384-322 BC). (a)
- Sir Francis Galton develops the concept of correlation (Median on steroids), and would use the idea to explain human intelligence. He coined the term "nature vs. nurture." (b)
- Karl Pearson put it all together, being credited for creating Mathematical Statistics (it covers everything)! (c)

6.SP.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
