Stand Deviation and Range

Today we learnt....“The square root of the quotient between the sum of all x subtract x bar squared divded by n”.
We were shown how to calculate the standard deviation and range in a set of numbers.
Population Standard Deviation- the measure of variability within a data set.
Range- is also a measure of variability
We used kindergarten students and grad students as a sample.

Today we got a little distracted before we did mental math. Mr. Maxs confirmed he has a brother and showed us his house on google earth. We then looked up more things and got back on track to mental math. We are working on our exercises 3 and 4.

Stamps Game

Today we did notes on Pathways and practiced the first question ( with Jason and Penelope ). We took notes on F.C.P. and we were supposed to do Factorial Notation but were doing that tomorrow. One of Mr. Maxs examples was: Calculate the number of ways to enter and exit the arena during a hockey game.
a) first period
ways in= 1
ways out=5
Therefore there are 5 ways in and out of the building.
b) third period
ways in=5
ways out=5
Therefore there are 25 ways in and out of the building.
