ESTIMATE

Brian asked 120 people to estimate the area of a rectangle

These are the estimates people gave to Brian for the area of the rectangle.


All measurements are in square centimetres.

90.5 140.6 180 151.55 112 129.7
100 134.6 168.3 201.3 146.4 132
189 152.25 126.3 141.3 165 147.4

95 145.4 190 162.6 140 125
147.8 149.5 164 137.4 121.1 169


The area of the rectangle is 145.36cm2

1. Which estimate was closest to the correct answer? 145.4

2. What was the mean estimate? 144.5613

3. Use the data to decide how good at estimating areas these people are

4. Extend your investigation, making clear rules and methods that you use.


I must analyse the estimates that were made for the area of this rectangle. How?????????? i no i must find averages, put em in tables etc.

I know wat i mst do for extention
but were i have to analyse da above how am i suppose to find da mean and median values when i have grouped dem???

this is how ive grouped em:


estimates frequency
0-50 1
50-100 3
100-150 73

mode is the most common value. id also work out the standard deviation - shows how srpread out the data is. See the other thread as well
