2 Review Question What is factoring? Breaking down polynomials Discussion If you wanted to know if a company was good to work for, would you want to know the mean, median, or mode of all of the salaries of the workers? Why? Any one of those statistics could be misleading. These values are called measures of central tendencies because they describe the middle of the data set. SWBAT define data SWBAT calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set Definitions Data pieces of information Example: My siblings ages: 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 Each of those numbers is considered to be data. The group of numbers is a data set. Mean average; add up the numbers then divide by the total amount of numbers Median middle number when the data set is in order Mode appears most often; can be more than one mode Range difference between the biggest and smallest number Example 1: The age of children in a family: 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20. Find the mean, median, mode, and range. Mean: 14 Median: 15 Mode: None Range: 12 Section 9-1: Central Tendencies (Day 1) Example 2: My cousins ages are: 8, 12, 8, 17, 14, 18, 20, 32. Find the mean, median, mode, and range. Mean: 16.1 Median: 15.5 * Notice the difference in finding the median when the data set has an even amount of numbers Mode: 8 Range:

3 Example 3: Make up a data set with 7 numbers that has the following characteristics: Mean: 8 Median: 6 Mode: 2 Range: 25 (2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 27) Can you come up with another data set that would work? You Try! Find the mean, median, mode, and range. Then write a sentence that describes what the data set could represent. 1. 4, 7, 9, 12, 2, 8, 7 mean - 7, median - 7, mode - 7, range , 88, 85, 78, 88, 70 mean , median , mode - 88 & 70, range Make up a data set with 6 numbers that has the following characteristics: Mean: 6 Median: 5 Mode: 1 Range: 13 1, 1, 4, 6, 10, 14 What did we learn today? Section 9-1 Homework (Day 1) 1. Write down a guess for the mean. Then calculate the exact value of the mean. a. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Guess: Actual: b. 20, 40, 60, 100, 150 Guess: Actual: c. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 Guess: Actual: d. 2, 10, 25, 30, 40, Guess: Actual: 315

4 2. Find the mean, median, mode, and range for each of the following data sets. Then write a sentence that describes what the data set could represent. a. 41, 37, 43, 43, 36 b. 2, 8, 16, 21, 3, 8, 9, 7, 6 c. 14, 6, 8, 10, 9, 5, 7, 13 d. 7.5, 7.1, 7.4, 7.6, 7.4, 9.0, 7.9, Make up a data set with 7 numbers that has the following characteristics: Mean: 10, Median: 8, Mode: 4, Range: Make up a data set with 6 numbers that has the following characteristics: Mean: 5, Median: 3, Mode: 1, Range: Consider the following data set: 2, 8,. If the mean of the data set is 10, explain why the has to contain a number greater than

5 Section 9-1: Central Tendencies (Day 2) Review Question How do you find the median of a data set with an even amount of numbers? Find middle two numbers; then take the mean Discussion Yesterday, we defined and calculated the mean, median, and mode of data sets. These values are called measures of central tendencies. They are called this because they describe the middle of a data set. Today, we are going to try to figure out which one best describes a data set. Consider a data set of the amount of points Lebron James scores in a game: 16, 18, 19, 19, 46, 48, 50. How does the NBA summarize this data set? Mean Why don t they use the median? Could be misleading Today, we want to figure out the best way to summarize any data set. SWBAT identify the correct measure of central tendency to use SWBAT identify the effect of an outlier on the mean and median Definitions measures of central tendencies values that describe the middle of a data set Example 1: Company A s mean salary is $55,000. Company B s mean salary is $224,000. Which company do you want to work for? Is it possible to work for company B and make less money than for company A? How? Company B could have a person that makes a lot more than the rest of the employees. Be aware of how statistics can be misleading! Company A s Salaries Company B s Salaries 40,000 30,000 45,000 30,000 50,000 30,000 60,000 30,000 80,000 1,000,000 What is the mean salary of each company? $55,000 and $224,000 What is causing the distortion in the mean? Outlier Outlier an extreme data value How does this outlier affect the mean? Greatly; show the results: 30, ,000 How does this outlier affect the median? Minimally: show the results: 30,000 30,000 What measure of central tendency best describes the salaries of each company? Why? Use the mean for Company A and the median for Company B. 317

6 How do you know when to use the mean or the median? *Use the mean when the data is close together. *Use the median when you have outliers. Discuss close together. If talking about test scores 30 points isn t close together. If talking about distance traveled 30 miles might be close together. Example 2: Which measure of central tendency best summarizes each of the following data sets? a. 10, 12, 14, 15, 1000 (money in people s pockets) median b. 3.5, 3.2, 3.6, 3.6, 3.2 (grade point averages) mean c (test scores) median Example 3: An article in the newspaper stated that teachers are overpaid. It stated that the average teacher salary was $61,000. How could that statistic be misleading? Discuss how teachers with longer tenures make more money than newer teachers What would be a better statistic to use? Why? Median b/c a few teachers that make $90,000 raise the average greatly You Try! Find the mean, median, mode, and range. Then select which measure of central tendency best summarizes each of the following data sets , 18, 22, 28, 30, 35 mean: 24.5, median: 25, mode: none, range: 21; MEAN (close together) 2. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 250 mean: 41.7, median: 8, mode: none, ragne: 248; MEDIAN (outlier) What did we learn today? Section 9-1 Homework (Day 2) 1. Find the mean, median, mode, and range for each of the following data sets. Then state whether the mean or median would best describe the data set. a. 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 100 b. 85, 86, 87, 96, 96, 97, Make up a data set with 7 numbers that would be best described by the median. 3. Make up a data set with 7 numbers that would be best described by the mean. 4. What effect does a large number have on a data set s mean? 318

7 5. What effect does a large number have on a data set s median? 6. A shoe store collected data on all of the sizes of shoes that customers bought. The manager is going to use this data to place his next order. He is trying to figure out what size to buy the most of. What measure of central tendency should he use? Why? 7. Most professional basketball players make between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. A few players make over $20,000,000. (Write answers in complete sentences) a. The owner of a team was trying to show that athletes make a large amount of money. What statistic did he use? Why? b. The players were trying to show that they did not make enough money. What statistic did they use? Why? c. What statistic best summarizes the player s salaries? Why? 319

8 Section 9-1: Central Tendencies (Day 3) Review Question Find the mean and median of each data set. 1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Mean: 3, Median: , 2, 3, 4, 5, Mean: 16669, Median: 3.5 What effect does an outlier have on a data set s mean? Great What effect does an outlier have on a data set s median? Minimal Discussion Why is it important to know the effects of an outlier? People use statistics to mislead us Can someone give me an example where this could be used to someone s advantage? Salaries at companies SWBAT identify the correct measure of central tendency to use SWBAT identify the effect of an outlier on the mean and median You will work together to come up with thorough solutions to the following questions. The solutions will include calculation and sentences. You must work together in order to be successful. The ability to work with others is one of the most desirable skills that employers want. You will have to learn how to get along with people at work that you do not like. Today is a good time to practice this skill. What did we learn today? Section 9-1: In-Class Assignment (Day 3) 1.

10 Section 9-2: Stem-and-Leaf Plots (Day 1) Review Question When should you use the mean to summarize a data set? When the numbers are close together When should you use the median to summarize a data set? When there is an outlier Discussion Yesterday, we summarized data sets by using the mean, median, and mode of data sets. Today, we are going to start summarizing data sets by graphing them. The class average on the last test was 84%. Why doesn t this statistic tell us the entire story? What else would you like to know about the data set? Each test result, highest/lowest score, distribution SWBAT construct a stem-and-leaf plot given a data set SWBAT read and apply information about a given stem-and-leaf plot Definition Stem-and-leaf plot - shows how often data values occur and how the data set is distributed What does distributed mean? Example A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Example B: 1, 100, 1000, 5000 Example C: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 60 How would you describe the distribution in Example A? Close together How would you describe the distribution in Example B? Far apart How would you describe the distribution in Example C? Close together with an outlier There are three ways (close together, far apart, close together with an outlier) that we will describe the distribution of data sets. Example 1: Reading a stem and leaf plot: Math class test scores. Stems Key: 7 1 = What is the lowest score? What is the greatest score? How many numbers over 87? 10 Leaves

11 4. Find the mode of the data Find the median of the data Find the mean of the data Example 2: Making a stem and leaf plot: Points Kobe Bryant scored in the last 18 games: 38, 46, 39, 42, 20, 55, 20, 37, 52, 30, 49, 27, 35, 31, 34, 23, 34, 20 Stems Key: 5 2 = 52 Leaves Example 3: Making a stem and leaf plot: The different weights of boys on the wrestling team: 118, 166, 139, 185, 144, 164, 121, 137, 142, 147, 127, 137, 131, 134, 169, 147, 155, 160 Stems Key: 11 8 = 118 Leaves You Try!

13 Section 9-2: Stem-and-Leaf Plots (Day 2) Review Question What does a stem and leaf plot show us about a data set? Each data point; distribution What does distributed mean? How close/spread out the data is Discussion Sometimes you need to compare two different data sets. An easy way to do this is by graphing both sets of data in one picture. For example, if you are trying to decide between two stocks to buy. You could graph the prices of both stocks during the past six months on a graph. Then you could compare the results. What stock would you buy? Why? Microsoft Yahoo 5 0 Jan Feb Mar April May June SWBAT construct a back to back stem and leaf plot given two sets of data SWBAT compare two different sets of data Example 1: Test Scores Class A: 79, 81, 81, 82, 83, 83, 85, 85, 85, 90, 91, 91 Class B: 62, 65, 68, 69, 90, 91, 92, 92, 94, 96, 96, 97, 98 a.

27 Section 9 4: Graphs: Bar, Line, Circle (Day 2) Review Question When is it appropriate to use a bar graph? When you have different categories of data. Discussion Could you use a bar graph to show a teacher s salary over each year of her career? Yes. Is it the best graph to use? It would be tedious to draw thirty different bars. It would be easier to draw a point. SWBAT read a line graph SWBAT construct a line graph Definition Line graph displays two sets of data that is connected in some way; usually data changing over time Example 1: Reading a line graph. 1. What day has the highest temperature? Friday 2. What is the lowest temperature? What is the mean temperature? Temperature Temperature 0 M T W Th F 339

28 Example 2: Making a line graph. Year Population (thousands) You Try! 1. Make a line graph. Year Salary (thousands) What did we learn today? 340

30 Section 9 4: Graphs: Bar, Line, Circle (Day 3) Review Question How do you change a fraction to a percent? Divide, move decimal two place to the right Discussion What is a circle graph? Uses percentages What do the percents add up to? 100% You should like circle graphs because you understand percents. For example, you understand a 92% on a quiz better than a 49/53 on a quiz. SWBAT create a circle graph given a set of data Definition circle graph displays data as percentages Example 1: Using your number sense to draw a circle graph. The goal is for the students to use their number sense to estimate each piece. Show students how to estimate percents on the circle graph by using 50% and 25% to guide them. Listed below are the results to a survey of students on what their favorite color is: 10% Green, 54% Blue, 22% Pink, and 14% Red. Make a circle graph based on these results. What color should we put in the graph first? Why? Blue, it s easy to estimate 54%. What color should we put in next? Why? Pink, it s easy to estimate 22%. Finally, notice that green and red add up to about 25%. Example 2: Have the students make a pie chart for the following data: 12% A s, 13% B s, 30% C s, and 45% D s. Notice that the A s and B s add up to 25% and the C s and D s add up to 75%. The students should estimate using these values. Example 3: Making a circle graph. Students in 8 th grade were asked to choose their favorite subject. The results are 48 English, 30 Math, 28 Science, 36 History, and 58 Gym. What do we need to make a circle graph? Percents English 48/200 =.24 = 24% Math 30/200 =.15 = 15% Science 28/200 =.14 = 14% History 36/200 =.18 = 18% Gym 58/200 =.29 = 29% 342

31 Draw the pie chart together. Show students how to estimate percents on the pie chart by using 50% and 25% to guide them. Discussion When someone is presenting information in a graph they can sometimes trick you. For example, the government ONLY spent 5% on salaries. That does not sound like a lot. This would not look like a lot in a circle graph either. But if the total budget was $200 billion, then 5% represents a large amount. In summary, small pieces of a pie graph could represent a large amount. Think about a pizza the size of your school. If you only had a 5% piece, it would still be a huge piece of pizza. What did we learn today? Section 9 4 In-Class Assignment (Day 3) students were surveyed about their favorite sport. The results are shown in the circle graph below. a. Which sport was most popular? Favorite Sports b. Which sport was least popular? Hockey 15% Golf 8% Football 31% c. What percent of the students chose hockey or baseball as their favorite? Baseball 19% Basketball 27% d. What percent of the students chose football or golf as their favorite? e. What percent of the students did not choose basketball as their favorite? 2. You make $1800 per month. Your monthly expenses are shown below. Mortgage - $756 Entertainment - $180 Transportation - $468 Utilities - $396 a. Calculate what percent of money is spent on each expense. b. Make a circle graph based on the percentages above. 343

32 c. Make a bar graph based on the monthly expenses. 3. What could influence how much money you spend on each of the following? a. Utilities b. Transportation 344

33 Section 9 4: Graphs: Bar, Line, Circle (Day 4) Review Question What type of data set is best suited for a circle graph? Percents What do the percents have to add up to? 100% Discussion How do we calculate percents to create a circle graph? Divide How do you think we would extract information from a circle graph? Multiply SWBAT extract information from a circle graph Example 1: 120 students were surveyed about their favorite sport. The results are shown in the pie chart below. Favorite Sports Hockey 15% Golf 8% Football 31% Baseball 19% Basketball 27% Estimate how many students play each sport using the estimating skills. Talk about what 50% would be. Half of 120 is 60; then base your estimations from there; Football 40 Calculate how many students chose each sport. Then compare it to your estimation. Remember, we divide to make a pie chart. We must multiply to extract information from a pie chart. Football = 120 x 31% = 3720 There is no way that this answer can be correct since only 120 total students were surveyed. Multiplying by 31% is a common mistake; answer would be unreasonable. Football = 120 x.31 = Basketball = 120 x.27 = Baseball = 120 x.19 = Hockey = 120 x.15 = Golf = 120 x.08 = Multiplying by.8 is a common mistake. 345

How much money did they spend on transportation? c. How much money did they spend on clothing and housing? d. If they doubled their clothing cost, how much money would they spend? e. If their monthly income was raised to $3250, how much money would they spend on food? 7. You make $2200 per month. Your monthly expenses are shown below. Mortgage - $1020 Entertainment - $180 Transportation - $550 Utilities - $450 a. Calculate what percent of money is spent on each expense. b. Make a circle graph based on the percentages above. c. Make a bar graph based on the monthly expenses. 347

36 Section 9 4: Graph: Bar, Line, Circle (Day 5) Review Question What type of data set is best suited for a circle graph? Percents Discussion What are bar graphs? Graph with categories How are they different from circle graphs? Don t use percents Where do you see them? Summarize data What do they represent? Categories of data SWBAT read a circle graph and bar graph SWBAT create a circle graph and bar graph given a set of data Example 1: Making a Bar Graph Listed below are student s favorite colors: 15 Blue 20 Green 25 Yellow 45 Orange 35 Purple Draw bar graph together. Show students how to pick good starting and ending points for their graph. Also, discuss proper use of scale. Notice in this example it would be inappropriate to use a scale of 50. A scale of every 5 or 10 would be appropriate. *Talk about how statistics can be misleading. If you choose a small or large scale the data could be interpreted in a different manner. Example 2: Making a circle graph using the data from example 1. What do we need to make a circle graph? Percents Blue 15/140 =.107 = 10.7% = 11% Previous lesson Green 20/140 =.142 = 14.2% = 14% Have the students calculate the other color s percents. Yellow 25/140 =.178 = 17.8% = 18% Orange 45/140 =.321 = 32.1% = 31% Purple 35/140 =.250 = 25% = 25% Make a circle graph based on these results. What color should we put in the graph first? Why? Purple, it s easy to estimate 25%. What color should we put in next? Why? Blue and Green, they add up to 25% Finally, estimate the last two colors. When should we use a circle graph? Percents When should we use a bar graph? Categories of data 348

39 Section 9 5: Probability (Day 1) Review Question When should you use a bar graph, line graph, and circle graph? categories, two sets of data, percents Discussion What does probability mean? Chance Are the chances of the following events good or bad? Why? 1. You will get HW tonight. 2. That you will dunk a basketball today. 3. That you will be out of school by 5:00 PM. How would you rate each of the previous events from 0 to 1 where 0 represents impossible and 1 represents certainty? 0 ¼ ½ ¾ 1 Impossible Unlikely Equal Likely Certain 1. You will get HW tonight. 2. That you will dunk a basketball today. 3. That you will be out of school by 5:00 PM. You said that the chance of you getting homework tonight is good. Why did you say this? You get HW 3/5 nights. What does the 1st number represent? How many nights you get it. What does the 2nd number represent? Total nights SWBAT calculate simple probability Definition Probability chance something will happen P(event) = what we want to happen (favorable outcomes) total events Example 1: Given a six sided die, calculate the probability of each event: P(3) = 1/6 P(not 5) = 5/6 P(# < 4) = 3/6 P(2 or 5) = 2/6 351

40 Are the chances of each of these events happening good or bad? Why? The ones greater than 1/2 have a good chance. Example 2: A bag of marbles contains 4 green, 5 yellow, and 3 blue marbles. Calculate the probability of each of the following events. Write each probability as a fraction, decimal, and percent. P(green) = 4/12,.33, 33% P(blue) = 3/12,.25, 25% P(purple) = 0/12, 0, 0% P(green or blue) = 7/12,.58, 58% Are the chances of each of these events happening good or bad? Why? The ones greater than 1/2 have a good chance. You Try! 1. A spinner has the numbers 1 through 12 on it. Numbers 1 4 are red, numbers 5 12 are yellow. Find the probability of each event. a.

42 Section 9-5: Probability (Day 2) Review Question How do you calculate probability? Favorable outcomes/total Outcomes Discussion What does the word compound? More than one thing In probability, there are two different types of compound events: independent and dependent. Let s try to understand the difference between the two. 1. Does your final math grade depend on your grade on your science quiz? No 2. Does your final math grade depend on your grade on your math quiz? Yes Therefore, your final math grade is dependent on your grade on your math quiz. Therefore, your final math grade is independent of your grade on your science quiz. SWBAT calculate the probability of independent and dependent events Definitions Independent events one event doesn t affect the outcome of the other Ex: Tossing a coin and rolling a die Can someone give me another example of independent events? Dependent events one event does affect the outcome of the other Ex: Picking out a queen (not replacing it) then picking out a king from a deck of cards Why would this be dependent? Because you are not replacing the first card Can someone give me another example of dependent events? Example 1: What is the probability of rolling a six then flipping heads on a coin? Are the events independent? Yes, 1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12 Example 2: What is the probability of picking a queen (not replacing it) then an ace from a deck of cards? Are the events independent? No, 4/52 x 4/51 = 16/2652 You Try! Consider a bag of marbles with 3 blue, 2 green, and 5 yellow. State whether each problem is dependent or independent. Assume that you will not replace the 1 st marble. Then find the probability. 1. P(Green and Yellow) = 2/10 x 5/9 = 10/90 2. P(Green and Blue) = 2/10 x 3/9 = 6/90 3. P(Green and Rolling a 2) = 2/10 x 1/6 = 2/60 4. P(Blue and Rolling an even number) = 3/10 x 3/6 = 9/60 What did we learn today? 354

Find the following probabilities based on the bag of marbles in the previous problem. a. P(Blue and Green) = b. P(Blue and Yellow) = c. P(Blue and Blue) = d. P(Not Blue and Blue) = 355

44 Section 9-5: Probability (Day 3) Review Question What is the difference between dependent and independent events? Independent events one event doesn t affect the outcome of the other Dependent events one event does affect the outcome of the other Discussion How do you calculate the probability of compound events? Multiply the probability of each event Let s take today to practice some of our skills. SWBAT calculate the probability of independent and dependent events Example 1: What is the probability of rolling a two then then spinning a two on a ten number spinner? Are the events independent? Yes; 1/6 x 1/10 = 1/60 Example 2: What is the probability of picking a four of clubs (without replacing it) then a ten from a deck of cards? Are the events independent? No; 1/52 x 4/51 = 4/2652 What did we learn today? Section 9-5 In-Class Assignment (Day 3) 1. Explain the difference between dependent and independent events. 2.
