  10. Density curves come in any imaginable shape. Some are well-known mathematically and others aren’t.

  11. Problem 6 • Scores: 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4, 3 • How many scores are there? N = ________. • Make a frequency distribution using the table provided. • Make a bar chart of the data using the axes provided.

  16. Problem 6 Central Tendency • Which score is most frequent? • Draw a line on the bar chart that splits the distribution in half (ie: half the scores are above the line, half are below the line). • Calculate the average of the 10 scores. (Scores are repeated here: 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4, 3 )

  17. Definitions: Central Tendency • There are three different statistics that are used to indicate the center/middle of the distribution. They are: • Mode: the most frequent score (Mo) • Median: the score that splits the distribution in half (half the scores above/ half below). (Md) • Mean: the arithmetic average. ( )
