Statistical - ____________________________________________________________________________
Variability - ____________________________________________________________________________
What is a statistical question? A statistical question is where you might expect many different answers.
Think(
Samantha wants to collect statistical information about the different sports seventh graders at her school like to watch.
She writes 3 questions to ask 50 seventh graders and will use the results to make an estimate about all seventh graders. Which questions are statistical and which are not?
When is the next home basketball game? Statistical or Not Statistical
What is your favorite sport to watch? Statistical or Not Statistical
What was the last sports game you watched at this school? Statistical or Not Statistical
When creating a statistical question we need to ask ourselves…
What are the possible answers to this question? Are the answers too general? Too Specific?
Explain in your own words the difference between a question that is statistical and one that is not.
____________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
Conclude: If there is any variability (more than one answer) then it is statistical. If the answer is a fact (only one answer) then it is non-statistical.
Try These
Determine whether each question is statistical or non-statistical. Then, explain your answer.

Lesson 4 - Mean Absolute Deviation MAD Classwork Day 4
Vocabulary
Outlier/Extreme Value - __________________________________________________________________
Mean - _________________________________________________________________________________
Absolute Value - _________________________________________________________________________
Deviate - ________________________________________________________________________________
Absolute Deviation = absolute value of the deviation
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) It tells you how the data is spread out compared to the mean.
Variability -
Mean (average) absolute deviation (MAD) is calculated by taking the mean of the absolute deviations for each data point. We do not use this method of describing data when there is an outlier or extreme value.
Vary – to differ
Ex) the houses vary in size
Measures of variation is similar to measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) because it helps us describe the data. Measures of central tendency help us describe the center of a set of data. Measures of variation show how close together the data in a set are or how far apart data points are.
How do you calculate mean absolute deviation?
Step 1 – calculate the mean of the data.
Step 2 – subtract the mean and each data point.
Step 3 – take the absolute value (distance is always positive)
How far away from the mean are you? Ex. Mean = 10 #12?______
Step 4 – Take the average of the absolute deviations.

Lesson 4 - Mean Absolute Deviation MAD Homework Day 4
Jason wanted to compare the mean height of the players on his favorite basketball and soccer teams. He thinks the mean height of the players on the basketball team will be greater but doesn’t know how much greater. He also wonders if the variability of heights of the athletes is related to the sport they play. He thinks that there will be a greater variability in the heights of soccer players as compared to basketball players. He used the rosters and player statistics from the team websites to generate the following lists. Was he correct? Explain

Step 2 Generate random numbers from 1 to 10 until you get one that represents a box with a winning code. Record how many boxes you bought before finding a winning code.
Ex. If five numbers are generated: 9, 6, 7, 8, 1 1 Represents a winning code
|Trial |Numbers Generated |Boxes Bought |
|1 |9, 6, 7, 8, 1 |5 |
|2 |2 |1 |
|3 |10, 4, 8, 1 |4 |
|4 |4, 10, 7, 1 |4 |
|5 |2 |1 |
|6 |4, 3 |2 |
|7 |3 |1 |
|8 |7, 5, 2 |3 |
|9 |8, 5, 4, 8, 10, 3 |6 |
|10 |9, 1 |2 |
Step 3 Perform multiple trials by repeating step 2
Step 4 Find the experimental probability
Look at the simulation and see that 1 of 10 trials, you
bought exactly 3 boxes of cereal before finding a winning code.
The experimental probability is [pic] or 10%.
Practice
1. There is a 30% chance that Chris’s county will have a drought during any given year. He performs a simulation to find the experimental probability of a drought in at least 1 of the next 4 years.
Chris’s model involves the whole numbers from 1-10. Complete the description of his model.
Let the numbers 1 to 3 represent ______________ Let numbers 4 to 10 represent ___________________
Perform multiple trials generating ______ random numbers each time.
Look at the results below and complete the tables.
|Trial |Numbers Generated |Drought Years |
|1 |10, 3, 5, 1 | |
|2 |10, 4, 6, 5 | |
|3 |3, 2, 10, 3 | |
|4 |2, 10, 4, 4 | |
|5 |7, 3, 6, 3 | |
According to the simulation, what is the experimental probability that there will be a drought in the county in at least 1 of the next 4 years?

Try this:
John has to complete a research project on the ape
population in Spain. He is trying to estimate the size of
population of apes. He randomly catches 37 apes and
marks them with paint. He releases apes in jungle. The
following year he observes 250 apes and he found
that 10 were marked with the paint that
he used. Find out the best estimate for the size of the ape population?

1. Is Mr. Coffey’s sample biased?
2. What could he have done differently?
Discuss…What if Mr. Coffey arrives at school early one morning? He surveys the first 50 students who arrive at school. Is this a good sample that is likely to be representative? Explain

If the MAD is small, it means the data are bunched closely together. If the MAD is large, it means the data are spread out and have greater variability.

4) The histogram shows the number of directors and the number of movies they complete in a year. Find the difference between the directors who made 3 to 4 movies in a year and who made 5 to 6 movies in a year.
5) How many directors made 3 - 4 movies?
6) How many directors made at least 7 movies?
