GirliKnow Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't know the specifics of the studies curriculum, but you could possibly look into normal and standard normal distributions, finding the mean, median, mode, and the 5 number summary, making a box-whisker plot, etc. Flip through your textbook and I'm sure ideas will come to you!Good luck 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirliKnow Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 ^ mhmm Agreed. this would be useful if all the metrics used aren't the same. The formula is also really simple 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
