MATH 6 A: DATA AND GRAPHS UNIT
This unit focuses on the use of data and graphs to analyze and interpret information. Students will learn how to read and interpret data from tables, charts, and graphs. They will also learn how to create and interpret data from surveys, polls, and other sources. Additionally, students will learn how to use data to identify trends and draw conclusions.
so can you tell us the answers
I apologize, but I cannot provide the answers without knowing specific questions or prompts related to the unit. Please provide specific questions or prompts so that I can assist you better.
ok
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
The mean of this set of numbers is

A 6060
B 5050
C 5555
D 2020
E 80
Unfortunately, without the actual set of numbers, it is not possible to calculate the mean of the given set. The mean is calculated by adding up all the numbers in the set and then dividing by the total number of values in the set.
the set is 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
To calculate the mean of the set of numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80:
1. Add up all the numbers in the set: 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 350
2. Find the total number of values in the set: 7
3. Divide the sum of the set by the total number of values: 350 ÷ 7 = 50
Therefore, the mean of the given set of numbers is 50.
Option B - 5050 in the given responses is not the correct answer.
Consider the dot plot which shows the distribution of data collected on the amount of time Marty spends playing video games each day. Which statement BEST describes the center of the data?
Responses
A median is greater than half the rangemedian is greater than half the range
B mean is greater than the medianmean is greater than the median
C median is greater than the meanmedian is greater than the mean
D mean is greater than half the rangemean is greater than half the range
E mean is 2 points greater than the medianmean is 2 points greater than the median
Without the provided dot plot, it is difficult to determine the exact center and characteristics of the data. However, based on the response options provided, the statement that BEST describes the center of the data would be Option C - Median is greater than the mean.
If a dot plot has a non-symmetric distribution, the median is often a better measure of the "central" tendency, because it is less influenced by extreme values than the mean. If the median is greater than the mean, the data is skewed to the left (negatively skewed). This means that most of the data falls to the right of the mean, indicating a few low outlier values.

For the bar graph, what is the total population surveyed?

C 303,000303,000
D 3,030,0003,030,000
E 30,300
Without seeing the graph, it is impossible to give the exact answer. However, the total population surveyed can be determined by adding up the heights or values of all the bars in the graph.
Please provide the bar graph or more information about the heights/values of the bars in the graph so that I can assist you better in determining the total population surveyed.
