DDYKI: Mean Median Mode Range (Day 2) The following data represent the number of bronze medals won by 10 countries in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Be sure to show how you got each answer (whether in numbers or words). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Find the median number of bronze medals won. 5, 7, 13, 6, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 3 Find the mean number of bronze medals won. What is the range of the data? Is there a mode? Explain. Are there any outliers? Explain. What measure (mean, median, mode) is most accurate to represent this data? Explain your selection.

Box and Whisker Plots (Day 2) The first Winter Olympics was held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Sixteen nations competed. This year, in Sochi, Russia, 88 nations are competing. The following data is the number of nations that have competed in each of the 22 Winter Olympiads. Use the data to create a box plot. Be sure to mark your median ( , lower quartile ( , and upper quartile ( . 16, 17, 25, 28, 28, 30, 30, 32, 35, 36, 37, 37, 37, 49, 57, 64, 67, 72, 78, 80, 82, 88

DDYKI: Box and Whisker Plots (Day 3) 1. The box-and-whiskers plot to the right describes the heights of 20 players on a school baseball team. Based on the information in the box-and-whisker plot, which of the statements below must be true? a. The mean height of the team is 69 inches. b. The range of the players heights is 3 inches. c. Half of the players heights are between 66 and 75 inches. d. The height of the shortest player on the team is 66 inches. 2. The box-and-whiskers plot to the right describes the heights of 40 players on a school baseball team. Which of the conclusions below can you NOT draw from the box-and-whisker plot? a. At least 30 players are 72 inches or taller b. The median height of the players is 74 inches c. The range of the players heights is 7 inches d. One quarter of the players are at least 78 inches tall 3. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE for the box and whisker plot showing the heights of boys and girls in a school? a. Minimum height of the boys is equal to the minimum height of the girls. b. Minimum height of the girls is fairly close to the maximum height of the boys. c. Maximum height of the girls is fairly close to the maximum height of the boys. d. 75% of the girls are taller than the shortest. 4. Using the graph in Questions 3, answer the following questions. a. What percentage of girls is shorter than 164 cm? b. What percentage of boys is taller than 179 cm? c. True or False: All the boys are taller than 75% of the girls? How do you know? d. Create an accurate (true) statement comparing the heights of girls and boys.

Comparing Box and Whisker Graphs (Day 4) Youve already completed a box plot using data from the number of nations that have competed in the Winter Games. In order to better understand comparing data, you will be using that box plot and creating one for the Summer Olympics for comparison. The Summer Olympic Games have been officially recognized since 1896. As in the Winter Olympics, there were no games in 1940 or 1944 due to World War II. The following data is the number of nations that have competed in each of the 21 Summer Olympiads since 1924. Use the data to create a box plot. Be sure to mark your median ( , lower quartile ( , and upper quartile ( . 37, 44, 46, 49, 59, 69, 72, 80, 83, 90, 93, 112, 121, 140, 159, 169, 197, 199, 201, 204, 204

Algebra 1 S1 Name: ________________________________________ Project Details: _____________________________________ Block: ____________ Due: March 13th When your box plot is complete, use it with the one you created for the Winter Olympics, fill in the chart below and answer the questions. 1. Which Olympic games have the higher median? 2. Comparing Interquartile range (IQR), which Olympics have a wider IQR? a. Based on what you learned from the video, what does this mean? 3. Compare the ranges of the 2 data sets. Which is more varied overall? 4. Explain if we should even be comparing the summer and winter Olympics. Give good reasons for your opinion.

DDYKI: Histograms (Day 5) 1. Approximately how many 6 10 year olds were at Jimmy Johns last week? 2. Estimate how many total customers Jimmy Johns had between the ages of 1 and 25 last week? 3. Approximately how many customers were 16 years old or older? 4. Why do you think the 16 20 subgroup had much more than the others? 5. Label which graph is a histogram and a bar graph. How is a histogram different from a bar graph?

Histogram of ages of customers at Jimmy Johns last week:

Analyzing Statistical Representation Assessment (Day 5) 3. Which of the following statistical measures would be most useful in determining which video game is the best seller for a store? a. Median b. Mode c. Range d. Mean 5. Which value in the data set below is an outlier? How do you know? a. 10 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 16, 19, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 49 b. 27 c. 13 d. 49 6. The paired box-and-whisker plot to the right shows the scores for 25 students on two different tests. Which of the statements below must be true based on the paired box-and-whisker plot? a.
