Question For Students: The Students As Acme Highschool Need To Understand The Concept of The Bell

The document provides a set of test scores and instructs students to analyze the data using concepts like the bell curve, mean, median, mode, and percentiles. It asks students to identify: 1) The scores that fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean according to the 68-95-99.7 rule. 2) The mode(s) of the data set. 3) The steps to calculate the mean of the scores. 4) The median, first quartile (Q1), and third quartile (Q3) values and that subtracting Q1 from Q3 yields the interquartile range (IQR).

Question for students: The students as Acme Highschool need to understand the concept of the Bell

Curve. Each Student draws a number from a bag. This number represents a grade that was received on
the last math test. The students do not know whose grade belongs to who, to make the process fair.
With this information, the Students must work together to Solve the Bell Curve Problem.

The numbers are as follows: 40, 50, 55, 55, 60, 65, 70, 70, 70, 80, 85, 85, 90, 90, 100

After working together the students come up with this Belle Curve to present to the teacher.
The teacher will want the students to display the following information pertaining to the 68, 95,
99.7 Rule. Students may refer to the chart above to help them find the information they need.

First: When applying the 68 Rule, the information given should be as follows

Reasoning: These are the number that fall between 62.7 and 79.3 in the list of the given data
Second: When applying the 95 Rule information given should be as follows:

Reasoning: These are the numbers that fall between 46.1 and 62.7 on the low end and 79.3
and 95.9 on the high end.

Third: When applying the 99.7 Rule, information given should be as follows:

Reasoning: These are the numbers that between 29.5 and 46.1 on the low end and 95.9 and
112.5 on the high end.

Next:
The teacher then asks the students to provide her with addition information. This time instead
of working as a class, they will be divided into five groups of three.

The Students are to solve for:

1) Mode: The students already know that the mode represents the most commonly used numbers in
the given information and that there can more than one in a set. With this information, the numbers are
already placed in ascending order making solving for the mode a little easier. The teacher wants the
students to understand that a problem can either have no mean or several means. The teacher is look
for:
2) Mean: The students already understand that mean represents all the numbers added up then
divided by how many numbers there are in the set. The teacher is looking for the steps for solving for
the mean.

3) Median, Q1, and Q3: The students already understand that the median represents the number in
the middle of the set of given data. The students will need to show their work in locating the median,
Q1, and Q2.

Note: Above you will notice that by finding the median, Q1 and Q3 students can easily find the IQR by
subtracting Q1 from Q3.
