why multiplying a number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number. Relate the principle of

fraction equivalence, a/b = (n x b) (n x b), to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.

Explain how to determine if the product of a whole number and a fraction will be greater or smaller than the given whole num-

ber.

If the fraction is greater than 1, in other words the numerator is greater than the denominator, the product will be greater

than the whole number.

If the fraction is less than one, in other words the numerator is less than the denominator, the product will be less than the

whole number.

If the fraction is equal to 1, in other words the numerator is equal to the denominator, the product will equal to the whole

number.

How may pets do you have? [numerical data—identifying number of pets]

What is your favorite type of music? [categorical data—identifying type of music]

What is your favorite food? [categorical data—identifying favorite food]

How tall are you? [numerical data—height in numbers]

EXAMPLE: Formulate a statistical question of interest and conduct an observation, survey, or ex-

periment. Collect, organize, and display data; making observations based on data display.

Conduct a survey about favorite sport, food, or musician

Observe and tally different colors of shirts classmates wear to school on a given day

EXAMPLE: Andy records his test scores, as percentages, in his science class as shown below. What is the mean, median,

and mode of his test scores?

85, 88, 75, 90, 95

Mean: Add all numbers and divide by 5 (the

number of numbers) = 433/5 = 86.6

Median: Place the numbers in order from

least to greatest: 75, 85, 88, 90, 95. The num-

ber in the middle is 88—that is the MODE

Mode: There is no number that you see the

most as all of them occur only once

Range: Subtract the smallest number from the

largest number. 95-75 = 20
