Lesson Topic: Describing the Center of a Distribution Using the Mean
Lesson Objective: I can…I can define the center of a data
distribution by a “fair share” value called the mean.
I can connect the “fair share” concept with a mathematical formula for finding the mean.

Mean…Is a measure of center, which can be
thought of as the “fair share” or an equal sharing of the data in which all
subjects have the same amount of data
If your class had a mean score of 74 on a test, 74 is the score each
student would receive, were you all to have the same score.

Let’s test it…Do we get the same mean?

Example 1How is Robert thinking about the
center?What do you think Michelle means by
evening out the data to determine a typical or center value?

Evaluate Your LearningHow will you “Sharpen Your
Saw”?Lesson Summary
In this lesson, you developed a method to define the center of a data distribution. The method was called the “fair share” method and the center of a data distribution that it produced is called the mean of the data set. The reason it is called the fair share value is that if all the subjects were to have the same data value, it would be the mean value.
Mathematically the “fair share” term comes from finding the total of all of the data values and dividing the total by the number of data points. The arithmetic operation of division divides a total into equal parts.
