 The Scenario
• A heinous criminal
has stolen Mr
Padvis’ break time
chocolate HobNobs.
• The only evidence
is two smudged
chocolaty prints.
• Who is our master
criminal?
 Fingerprints
• Used in the ancient
world as a signature.
• 1892 Sir Francis
Gaulton works out the
chances of
fingerprints being
the same is 1 in 64
billion
• 1902 in the US murder
Scheffer sentenced to
death based on
fingerprint evidence.
L/O: Gather and analyse data to find the
mode. (Lvl 4)

Task 1
• Please take the
fingerprint of your
index finger on your
right hand.
• Method 1
– Use the ink stamp!
• Method 2
– Using a pencil,
colour in a 5x5
square. Press your
finger on it then
apply sellotape to
your finger.
L/O: Gather and analyse data to find
the mode. (Lvl 4)

Task 2
• You need to
classify your
print. What type
is it?
• Get 2 other
fingerprint
experts to
confirm your
findings.
 L/O: Gather and analyse data to
find the mode. (Lvl 4)

Task 3
• Add your name to
the class graph.
• What is the
modal type of
print? How do
you know this?
 Task 4
• Compile a list of
suspects based on
the following
evidence:

• “Despite being
smudged, the
fingerprint was
most surely of the
modal type.” Dr A
Scientist, CSI
Foxford.

I didn’t do it…
• We now know who
didn’t do it,
but we still
have suspects.
• What other
evidence from
the 2 prints
might be
important?

Alert…
• Mr A Scientist
has a new piece
of evidence…
• “The Prints were
within 5% of the
mean measurement
between index
finger and
thumb.”.
 So what..?
• What should we
do next?
• How can we
calculate what
is necessary?

L/O: I can use the mean to identify relevant

data

 The Mean
• The mean is
calculated by
adding all the
data up, then
dividing by how
many pieces of
data you started
with.

L/O: I can use the mean to identify relevant data (Lvl 5)

 5%
• 5% of something
is easy…
• Divide by 10,
then half!

• Example:
– 12cm
– 12cm/10=1.2cm
– Half of 1.2cm is
0.6cm

Key Question
• What is:
– The smallest hand
span possible?
– The largest hand
span possible?

• Does this
eliminate
people?
