Try to answer the following questions as best as you can (2 or more sentences per question) What are your mean, median, mode and range and what do they tell you about your topic? Did the dotplot seem to make sense as a visual for your data, or do you think a histogram works better? Why? Lastly, which measure of center do you think best describes your data and why?

In my opinion, I thought that the dot plot seemed to make more sense than the histogram because the histogram doesn't show the exact number of points. I think that the mean best describes my data because when I looked at the points I won for each games, 10 points was the most greater on the dot plot so my average had to be closer to 10 than the other numbers.]]> 2020-05-04 15:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549657100 Jesse https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549657599 my mean is 38.9, median is 39, mode is 36,39, and 41, and the range is 6. I liked the dot plot more because I can see each number. the histogram shows me clumps of data. I think the mean is the best one because you get the averages.

These tell me that my brother can be inconsistent.

For my data a dot plot made sense as a visual for my data. A histogram works fine too. I think a dot plot works fine because the range is small and it is harder to do with a big range.

Well my topic is about seeing how long I can do a plank for so they tell what's my average plank, what my most common plank is and my range from my worst to my best plank.
I think the dot plot was more helpful because it was way more precise and helpful.
I think mean best describes my data the best because my median doesn't help to see any other of my data and my mode isn't a real mode and my range doesn't help that much either and mean you can find my average plank which is really helpful.

Also, I do not have a mode because no number occurs twice. Finally, my range is 182 because I took my highest number or 207 juggles and subtracted it by 25 my lowest amount of juggles.

The mean tells me the average amount of pushups I do each round. As for the median, it shows me the in between score that I had got during the rounds. My modes showed me what score I had received the most. Finally, my range shows me the span of my scores, and the highest and lowest score. In my opinion, both the graphs show the frequency of each possible score, the range etc, but I like the  dot plot more because it shows the frequency and scores more clearer and easier than the histogram.

Mean = 570 juggles
Median = 517 juggles
I didn't have a mode because I didn't get a number more than once.
Range = 1,027-324 = 703 juggles.From the data you can see how wide spread my data is so you can infer that my juggling consistency can be anywhere from low to very high. The fact that I also do not have a mode can also give you more facts to back that I am not a consistent juggler. I think that the dot plot is better because it is an easier way to write out the data. Either way the dot plot and the histogram will be not exactly precise since all my data is high and widely spread out. so pretty much the best thing that you can do is make a more calculated estimate. I think that an average would best explain the center of the data since it is the combined data that has been divided to find the closest center to the all the related data in my chart.]]> 2020-05-04 16:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549814573 Izzy 22isabevega https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549815880 Mean: 2.8 Median: 2.5 Mode: 2 Range: 2. The dot plot is better because you don't really have to do anything but just put dots on top of each other. Also its more creative because in math its mostly just squares and lines.

As you can see my range is far away from each other which means I am not that consistent in my dribbles. Sometimes I go slow and sometimes I go fast. This information helps the topic because it could help with the other two things such as dot plot and histogram.
The dot plot did make sense because it shows how much of a certain number there is. I think the dot plot works better because the histogram is almost the same thing as a dot plot but the dot plot requires a less amount of data to be shown.
I think my mean would best describe my center because it shows what average amount of dribbles is which in my opinion is the most important piece of information. ]]> 2020-05-04 16:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549818560 Emilie 22emilcoff https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/549840594 Mean: 44

I also like using the dot plot like what Izzy said ''The dot plot is better because you don't really have to do anything but just put dots on top of each other" I agree because I like when things are simple in a big project so the simplicity of the dot plot takes away some of the stress

Mode: All values only appeared once.

The median, mode, mean, and range all can tell you the different parts the data can give you, like the average (mean) of the data, how often the sam data will show up (mode), the difference between the largest set and the smallest set of data (range), and the direct center of all the information (median).

The dot plot made a better visual for displaying data compared to the histogram because it is much easier to see the exact numbers/amounts of the data. Histograms tend to be more of an approximation.

I believe that the mean (average) is better suited towards my project because all my variables in my set of information are all completely different, and knowing what the average is for all the numbers comes in useful for much more situations.]]> 2020-05-04 18:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/550172756 Brian P. 22brianpark https://padlet.com/schwalenbergt/fc8207x0ujv42qnd/wish/550302891 Mean - 43.4

I recorded times for scores on a game I was playing. The times all stick in one area, which makes sense considering that the track has a limited high score.

Mean:201
Median:201
Mode:200
Range: 4
Since the objective of the game is to see how fast you get 200 points, it makes sense that the mode is, well, 200. But I noted the scores to see if I went over 200 occasionally, and I did.

After that, to organize my data, I put both the scores and times in charts. The x value is the round number, and the y value is the score/time. Then I connected the bars together.  The chart showed the progress and improvement of the different rounds, and it fluctuated quite a bit....

So the bar graph suited the purpose of tracking progress the best, while I would say  that a dot plot or box and whisker plot would be better for understanding the center easier.

For both scores and  times, I would say that the mean suited it best, since it was most centered. It wouldn’t make sense for me to use the mode times in my data, since my mode was also the lowest score on the table. A lot of information lay on the lesser side of the times median too.

It’s good that the range for scores is low. Typically, you are only supposed to have them see your time taken for 20l points, and if the range was high, that would mean there is something wrong with the game.

Median: I already had my numbers ordered above.

261, 281, 295, 296, 296, 502, 518, 532, 534, 566. Since there is no middle number I added 296 & 502 and equaled 798. Then I divided 798 by 2 and got 399. 399 is my median.

Mode: 296 appeared twice while the other numbers appeared once so 296 is my Mode.

Range: My highest number is 566 and lowest is 261. 566 - 261 = 305. So my range is 305.
