Activity 12.3 - 12.4

This math worksheet involves calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and dispersion (range, standard deviation) from sets of raw data and frequency distributions. Students are asked to find ranges, means, medians, modes, and standard deviations and interpret z-scores for several math word problems involving normally distributed data on test scores, home prices, and other examples.
