Scale Points on the axis with equal intervals. Axis A graph has two perpendicular lines (lines at right angles). The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. Graph A diagram showing data. Frequency The number of times an event occurs. Line graph A graph where straight lines join points together to show the data. Average Loosely means an ordinary or typical value. There are 3 types of average that we learn about: mean, median and mode. When just the word average is used, it refers to the mean. Mean The sum of a set of numbers, or quantities, divided by the number of terms in the set. Example: The arithmetic mean of 5, 6, 14, 15 and 45 is (5 + 6 + 14 + 15 + 45) 5 i.e. 17.

Find the mean of each set of data: 1. 6, 3, 9, 7, 5 6 2. 1.3m, 0.7m, 2.6m, 2.3m, 0.4m, 1.7m 1.5m 3. 26, 27, 35, 18, 23, 27 26 4. 1.34, 89p, 1.57, 2.46, 2.09, 59p What do you need to think about carefully when finding the mean with this set of data? All or p so 89p = 0.89 1.49 Make some sets of data for a partner to find the mean. Answers

  5. TWIST IT! How Much? Five classes of children collect some money to share equally with five local charities. Four of the classes record how much money they have collected, but the fifth class forgot to record theirs. Here are the four classes collections: 34, 29, 18, 27.
