What We Did Today:
Students explored how changing data values in a distribution affects the mean and the median. They did this using data about prices of skateboards at four different stores. They also further developed ideas about the shape of a distribution. Notes are available below.
Focus Question:
How do the median and mean respond to the data in a in a distribution? How do you choose which measure of center to use when describing what is typical?
Homework:
None.
