Check understanding
- Calculate mean, median, and mode for a data set and explain when each is most appropriate
- Find the range of a data set and explain how an outlier affects the mean versus the median
- Compare two data sets using their averages and ranges to draw conclusions
“If your child had the test scores of a whole class, could they find the mean, median, and range, and explain what each tells you about how the class performed?”
