Review and Effects on Outliers

REMINDER !
Always
Re-order before figuring out all measurements of tendency.
mean: All the numbers added together, divide by home much digits.
median: the middle number OR (if there is no middle number) add the two middle
numbers and divide by 2.

mode: the most number(s) there.
range: diffrence between the largest and smallest values in a data set.
outlier: number(s) that don't really fit with that data set.

Find the mean, median, mode, range, and outlier(s).
a) 12, 20, 18, 15, 10, 12.
b) 48, 32, 67, 61, 47, 95, 89, 888, 1.

a) re-order: 10, 12, 12, 15, 18, 20.
mean: 14.50
median: 13.5
mode: 12
range: 10
outlier(s): No outliers

b) re-order: 1, 32, 47, 48, 61, 67, 89, 95, 888.

mean: 166
median: 61
mode: no mode
range: 887
outlier(s): 888 and 1

Here is a video that covers: mean, median, mode and range.
Here is a video that covers: range and outlier(s).

Effects on Outliers
- Some outliers need to be removed from a data set. This is typically a judgement call.

- Outliers have an effect on ALL measurements of tendency.

  13. Good job. I agree with Cameron's comment about making the important words coloured. It was very organized and neat. I liked how you put the links on, and how you made each measure of central tendency that was used multiple times the same colour as the previous. Good job.

  18. Amazing job Thessa! I think you did a really good job making this neat and organized. I like how you made the mean, median, mode, outlier, range, and reorder different colours. You made everything really nice but I think you should've put up the video instead of a link to the video.
