PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

Students collect data on their study and TV viewing time over a period of several days. They use a graphing calculator, with step by step instructions, to find measures of central tendency, construct a box and whiskers graph, construct a scatter plot of class data, and look for a line of best fit. Activity sheets and suggestions for assessment are included. (author/sw)
