This is some of the data I got. The meadin for 3rd grade is 3 and for 5th grade is 3 too.This means that maens that 5th and 3rd grade are pretty close together.
The mode for 3rd grade is 2 and 3. The mode for 5th grade is 2 .That means that the more kids have this amount of computers than any other amount a 3rd grader can have is 2 or 3 computers and for 5th it is 2.
The maximum for 3rd grade is 8 and the maximum for 5th grade is 6. This means that the most computers a kid could own is 8 and 6 computers.The minimum for 3rd is 1 and for 5th is 1. This means that the least amount of computers a kid could own is 1.
The range for 3rd grade is 8 and the range for 5th grade is 5. This means that 3rd grade is more spread out than 5th grade.
The typical 3rd and 5th graders are similar because the minimum is the same and the maximums are close together.
Lauren,
Nice job comparing the amount of computers between 3rd and 5th graders. What else could you use to compare those 2 groups?
Dad
i think that people own the same amount of computers cause their are mom or dad.
This is an interesting study, Lauren. Why do you think that you didn't find much difference between the number of computers owned by 3rd and 5th graders?
