What maths will you use to choose a sports team?
L.Obj: to analyse averages and databases
This is a BOX PLOT
The distance between the two ends....
Is called the Range The Median is the line in the box
L.Obj: to analyse averages and databases
If we know the Median and the range of some data we can use the information to
“Guess” what we might expect.
This is called “Interpreting Data”.

You have to choose the team for sports day.
There are some simple rules to remember.....
1. No athlete can do more than 2 events
2. Every athlete MUST do one event
3. The athletes cannot do two events that start at the same time
L.Obj: to analyse averages and databases
You will get a sheet of statistics for your team
members....

At the end of the task races will be run.
The results will be displayed and you can see how your athlete performed compared to the
other athletes.
You will need to record the points your athlete
got in the race/discipline in the
space provided.

34 events means the perfect score would be 850 points
