What is a line plot? • A line plot displays data along a number line. • Each x represents one number in the data.
Outlier • A number in a data set that is very different from the other numbers.
Average Number of Emails • xx x x x x x___x___x_____x__________1 2 3 4 5 6Emails sent today • What is the average number of emails sent today? • Remember to find the average : ADD and Divide • What is the range? • What is the mode? • What is the median?
What is the Median? text pg. 226 • The median is the middle number when the data are listed in order. • The number of raisins in our boxes: • 10, 26, 26, 27, 30, 32, 32, 32, 34 • x • 30 is the median.
What is the mode? • The mode is the number or numbers that occur most often in the data. • 10, 26, 26, 27, 30, 32, 32, 32, 34 • The mode is 32.
What is the range? • The range is the difference between the greatest and the least number in the data. • 10, 26, 26, 27, 30, 32, 32, 32, 34 • The greatest number is 34. The least number is 10. • 34 – 10 = 24. The range is 24.
What is the mean? Pg. 404 • The mean is the average. It is found by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the number of values. • 10, 25, 20, 5, 20 • The sum is 75. • We added 5 numbers. • Divide 75 by 5. • The average or mean is 15.
Mean • The blocks • that are all • the same • height show • the average • or mean.

What is a bar graph?p 208 • A bar graph is a graph using bars to show data. • Bar graphs can be vertical or horizontal.
Parts of a bar graph • Scale: Numbers that show the units used on a graph are the scale.(The numbers on the graph.) • Interval: a number which is the difference between two consecutive numbers on the scale of a graph. (p. 208) • The interval is 5. • The graph must have labels!
Steps for creating a bar graph. • Choose a scale. • Draw and label the side and bottom of the graph. • Draw a bar on the graph for each piece of data. • Give the graph a title. The title shold describe the subject of the graph.
Make a bar graph. • http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/graphing/classic/bar_pie_data.asp?ChartType=bar • Y axis – vertical (up and down) • X axis – horizontal (across)
