Find the mean: 

4, 5, 2, 1

Mean = 3

100

If the mean is 6, calculate the MAD.

MAD = 1.3333......

100

Find the median: 

6, 8, 11, 5, 4, 8

Median = 7

100

Find the range:

50 - 20 = 30
100

True or False: You can use a histogram to find the median.

False! You need EXACT data. Histograms only give you ranges of data. 

200

Find the mean: 20, 15, 30, 10, 25

Mean= 20

200

If the mean is 5, what is the MAD?

MAD = 3.333....

The colored pencils in your pencil pouch have the following lengths in inches:

3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11. What is the median length?

Median = 6

200

What is the IQR?

45 - 35 = 10

200

Which would be best to use to find the RANGE?

Box plot! Gives you the exact number for the minimum & maximum.

300

Find the mean: 2, 8, 12, 1, 9, 12, 5, 7

Mean = 7

300

Which group has greater variability? How do you know? 


Group A, because they have the greatest MAD. 

Greater MAD = greater variability!

300

Find the median.

Median: 1

300

The box plot shows the number of minutes spent on homework in a class. What percent of the class spent 35 - 45 minutes on homework? 

25%, because it goes from minimum to Q1!

300

When is Ms. Collopy's birthday?

A. June 27th 

B. July 13th 

C. May 32nd

D. July 27th

D!

400

True or False: The mean is less than 8. 

TRUE!

400

Which group has less variability? How do you know? 

Group B, because they have the smaller MAD! 

Smaller MAD = smaller variability 

400

What is the median test score? How do you know?

85. You can find the median by looking at Q2 (middle line).

400

What is the maximum number of miles driven? How do you know?

50 miles. Find the maximum/total by looking at the maximum.

400

Find Q1!

Q1 = 23!

500

How do you find the mean?

1) ADD up all the numbers/values. 

2) DIVIDE by the number of numbers/values you added!

500

How do you find the MAD?

1) Find the mean. 

2) Subtract each value from the mean. 

3) Find the mean of all the differences! 

500

How do you find the median?

1) Line numbers up from LEAST --> GREATEST 

2) Find the middle number by crossing off one-by-one from the outsides.

500
What is the difference between finding the IQR and Range?

IQR = Q3 - Q1 

Range = Maximum - Minimum
