Why Analyze Data?
Data is collected to answer questions. When we want to answer a question, we
collect data to provide information on that topic. We take the collected data and analyze it to find out if there are
any relationships.
DATA IS COLLECTED TO FIND ANSWERS TO MANY DIFFERENT QUESTIONS.

The Mean
The sum of a list of numbers, divided by the total number of numbers in that list
(average is another word for mean)

How To Find The MeanQuestionA farmer wanted to know the daily mean for the number of eggs laid by his prize hen for the last seven days. The hen laid 4 eggs on Sunday, 3 eggs on Monday, 1 egg on Tuesday, 4 eggs on Wednesday, 2 eggs on Thursday, 0 eggs on Friday, and 4 eggs on Saturday.
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday4 3 1 4 2 0 4
1. Find the sum of the numbers
4+3+1+4+2+0+4 = 18
2. Divide the sum by how many numbers you have
18÷7 = 2.6
Mean = 2.6
The hen laid an average of 2.6 eggs per day during that 7 day period.

Finding The Range
- Range: The distance between the maximum and the minimum number
Range = Max – MinExample: 4, 6, 30, 24Range = 30 – 4Range = 26

Find The Range
1. {8, 9, 12, 16, 18}18 – 8 = 10 The range is 10
2. {3, 5, 2, 4, 5, 7, 2}7 – 2 = 5 The range is 5. Finding the range is easier if you put the numbers in order from least to greatest first{120, 134, 165, 210, 315, 356}356 – 120 = 234 The range is 234
