The Table above shows the points scored by the JV basketball team in their first seven games. Calculate the mean, median, mode and range. Which statistical measure makes the team sound the best?

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

• Range

What is the first quartile?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 7

Find the mean of these numbers:
5,11,2,12,4,2

• 4.1

• 6

• 4.5

• 4

The data set below has an outlier of 42.
2, 5, 12, 15, 19, 4, 6, 11, 16, 18, 12, 12, 42
What effect does removing the outlier have on the distribution of the data?

• The mean will decrease

• The median will decrease

• The mean will increase

• The median will increase

The heights, in feet, of random samples of trees from three forests are shown. Move each measure into the table to identify which forest is expected to have the greatest measure of center and which forest is expected to have the greatest measure of variability based on the samples.
