Find the mean, median, and mode in the datasets below. Graph your responses (i.e., use excel to place the mean, median and mode on a graph). Only graph the mean, median, and mode, not the entire dataset. Your answer should include two graphs.

For dataset A, use a bar graph and for dataset B, use a line graph.

Dataset A: 16, 46, 4, 94, 39, 8

Dataset B: 7, 54, 24, 7, 32

Copy and paste the images of your graphs from Excel into a Word document.

Part C

What is a 'normal' data distribution? Include the following terms in your response (skew, kurtosis, mean, median and mode).

Part D

What is the central limit theorem? The following terms should be included in your answer: sample, population, standard deviation, mean, median and mode).
