  1. Using Mathematics to Analyze an Invention ENGR 7-2 Lesson 4 Written by Roland Williams

  2. GPS: ENGR-II-4: Students will invent or innovate a technological product. M7A3. Students will understand relationships between two variables. M7D1. Students will pose questions, collect data, represent and analyze the data, and interpret results.

  3. Critical Knowledge/Elements G) Evaluate the invention or innovation C) Describe how change in one variable affects the other variable. C) Analyze data using measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode), including recognition of outliers.

  4. Essential Question How are mathematics used to evaluate an invention?

  5. Word Wall Mean Median Mode Break-Even Point

  6. Your candy dispenser was to dispense 4 – 8 candies. What was the mean, median and mode of your candy dispenser?

  7. Add all the numbers together then divide the answer by the amount of numbers. EX: 4,7,6,7,4,8,4,8 Mean

  8. Ans: 4+7+6+7+4+8+4+8=48 48 ÷ 8 = 6 Mean = 6 Mean

  9. List all the numbers in correct order, being sure to include an doubles and find the middle number. If you have an even amount of numbers, the median is found by adding the middle two numbers together and dividing by 2. EX: 4,7,6,7,4,8,4,8 Median

  10. Ans: 4,7,6,7,4,8,4,8 4,4,4,6,7,7,8,8 (6 + 7) ÷ 2 = 6.5 Median = 6.5 Median

  11. List all numbers in order, the mode is that number which appears the most times. There can be more than one mode. EX: 4,7,6,7,4,8,4,8 Mode

  12. Ans: 4,7,6,7,4,8,4,8 4,4,4,6,7,7,8,8 Mode = 4 Mode

  13. You have now added a place to deposit money in your candy dispenser and you are going to sell your dispenser. You must be a good salesman and know how what the Break-Even Point is for a candy manufacturer.

  14. The point at which cost or expenses of your device and revenue or profit made from the sale of candies are equal. X = Y÷Z (Total number of candies that must be sold (X) = Dispenser Price (Y) ÷ Profit per Candy (Z) Break-Even Point

  15. X = Y÷Z (Total number of candies that must be sold (X) = Dispenser Price ($100) ÷ Profit per Candy ($2) EX: X = Y÷Z X = $100 ÷ $2 X = 50 BEP = 50 Break-Even Point
