Exploring Mathematical Connections

• Objectives: 1) To properly perform some basic statistics. 2) To learn about potential careers involving mathematics.

• Warm-up: Evaluate the following:

1) 24 is 60% of what? 2) x + xy – y; use x = 7, and y = 5

Given the following numbers, calculate the mean, median, mode, min and max.10, 12, 15, 6, 20, 10, 11

Basic Statistics

Warm-up Data: 10, 12, 15, 6, 20, 10, 11• Mean = 12, Median = 11• Mode = 10, Min = 6, Max = 20• Now create a Box and Whiskers

Plot!

• Find the mean, median, mode, min, max and create a Box and Whiskers Plot.

1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 4, 2, 9, 1, 5

NFL Salary Cap

How is the NFL Salary Cap calculated?• It has a lot of elements involved,

but a basic formula can be derived as:55% of League Media (regular season games) + 45% NFL Ventures/Postseason+ 40% Local (preseason games) – 47.5% of the Joint Contribution Amount (Projected League-wide benefits)

• League Media = $4.5 billion• NFL Ventures = $5.4 billion• Local = $1.25 billion• Joint Contribution Amount =

$1 billion
