Using Data Variability To Discover The Mean

This week in math, students used digital electrical multimeters to discover the capacity of various electrical resistors. Each resistor is rated for 1,000 OHMS with an allowance by the manufacturer of +/- 1% deviation (990-1010 OHMS). Students recorded their information using dot plots, which allowed them to then find the mean (average), median, and mode of the resistors’ accuracy. Special thanks to Mr. Jerry Francl for suggesting this activity and supplying the materials.IMG_0096 IMG_0088 IMG_0087 IMG_0094 IMG_0092 IMG_0093 IMG_0095
