So... you started with an 80, scored a 100, and now you have a 90. What rule can you make about averages (means) based on this?

• If my score today is higher than my average, my average goes up.

• My score today does not change my average.

• If my score today is higher than my average, my average goes down.

• My average stays the same no matter what.

But wait! Wednesday comes and you score a 90... winning! It should be 'Wins' day. Now your grades are:

80 , 100 , 90

• If I score the same as my average, it does not change.

• If I score the same as my average, it does not change very much.

• If I score the same as my average, my average goes down.
