 Albert the Astronaut

Albert’s It is essential that an

Measurements( astronauts weight is
kg) measured as accurately as
87.1 possible in order to calculate
87.6 fuel requirements.
86.9
87.0 Albert has measured his
weight every day for the last 7
87.5
days prior to his mission.
87.5
87.2 Can you help him to work out
his mean weight to report
back to NASA?
 Mean

Mean = 87.1 + 87.6 +86.9 + 87.0 +87.5+87.5+87.2

Sum = 610.8

Mean= Sum of all numbers

total no. of numbers

= 610.8

= 87.25kg

Charlie the Channel
Swimmer

Charlie is training for her Her times:

latest heroic Channel • 1hour 5 mins
swim. She is trying to • 1hour 8 mins
make sure she is • 56 mins
swimming as consistently • 1hour 10 mins
• 48 mins
as possible. She needs to
calculate the range from
her last
five training swims in
minutes. What is it?
 Her times:
Range • 1hour 5 mins
• 1hour 8 mins
• 56 mins
1. Convert all timings in minutes: • 1hour 10 mins
• 48 mins

 1hour 5 mins= 65 mins

 1hour 8 mins = 68mins
 56 mins
 1hour 10 mins = 70 mins
 48 mins

2. Arrange them in a order;

48, 56, 65, 68, 70

3. Range= Highest number – lowest number

= 70- 48
= 22 mins
 Mean
9,4,17,4,7,8,14

1. Finding the mean

2. First add the numbers up

9+4+17+4+7+8+14 = 63

3. Then divide 63 by the total number of data points, 7,

and you get 9.

4. The mean is 9.
 Median
9,4,17,4,7,8,14

1.Finding the median:

2. First put the numbers in order:

4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, 17

3. The middle number is 8.

4. There for the median is 8.

 Mode
9, 4, 17, 4, 7, 8, 14

1. Finding the mode

2. Remember the mode is the number that appears the most.

3. It can help to put the numbers in order so we don't miss

anything:

4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, 17

4. Four appears twice and the rest of the numbers only appear

once.

5. The mode is 4
 Range
9, 4, 17, 4, 7, 8, 14

1.Finding the range:

2. The lowest number is 4.
3. The highest number is 17.
4. Range = 17 – 4
5. Range = 13
