Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Learning Intention Success Criteria 2.Calculate values for the Mean, Median, Mode and Range in a context. 1.We are learning the terms Mean Median, Mode and Range for a set of data. 1.Understand the differences between the terms Mean, Median, Mode and Range. Different Averages

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Find the mean of the set of data 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 26 Can you see that this is not the most suitable of averages since five out of the six numbers are all below the mean of 5 Different Averages

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. An average should indicate a “measure of central tendency” but should also indicate what the distribution of data looks like. This is why we have 3 different types of averages to consider 1.The Mean 2.The Median (put the data in order then find the MIDDLE value) 3.The Mode (the number that appears the most) For the above data the Median or Mode is a better average = 1 Different Averages

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Different Averages Example : Find the mean, median, mode and range for the set of data. Range = Highest number – Lowest Number 10, 2, 14, 1, 14, 7

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Now try Exercise 1 Ch17 (page 73) Different Averages

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Learning Intention Success Criteria 1.Be able to Construct Frequency Table 1. We are learning how to construct and interpret Frequency Tables. Class Intervals Frequency Tables 2.Be able to Interpret information contained in a Frequency Table.

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Class Intervals When a set of data is large, the numbers have to be grouped into “class intervals”. Each interval must have the same number of values Ideally, there should be between 6 to 10 intervals Frequency Tables We will now construct a Frequency Table

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Class Intervals Frequency Tables Class Intervals TallyFrequency Example : The test scores for a class are given below. Construct a Frequency Table for the results Choose suitable Class interval

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. Learning Intention Success Criteria 1.Be able to add a third column to a frequency table. 1. We are learning to work out the mean from a Frequency Table. Frequency Tables Working Out the Mean 2.Calculate the mean from a frequency Table.

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. No of Coins ( c ) Freq.(f) Example : This table shows the number of coins in the pockets of some children Totals Frequency Tables Working Out the Mean Adding a third column to this table will help us find the total number of coins and the ‘Mean’. 5 x 1 =5 1 x 3 = 3 2 x 5 = 10 3 x 4 = 12 5 x 2 = f x C

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. No of Sibling s ( S ) Freq.(f) Example : This table shows the number of brothers and sisters of pupils in an S2 class Totals Frequency Tables Working Out the Mean Adding a third column to this table will help us find the total number of siblings and the ‘Mean’. 0 x 9 =0 2 x 6 = 12 5 x 1 = 5 3 x 1 = 3 1 x 13 = S x f

We are learning how to calculate the median Frequency Table. Cumulative Frequency Tables 2.Be able to calculate the median from a Cumulative Frequency Table. Working Out The Median

Level 3 / 4 17-Apr-15Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept. You have 1 minute to come up with a question you can easily answer from the table. Example : This table shows the number of eggs laid by a clutch of chickens each day over a seven day period A third column is added to keep a running total. This makes it easier to get the total number of items C. Freq. Total so far Cumulative Frequency Tables Working Out The Median When was the Median egg collected. Collected on Day 5
