Join Zoe as she calculates the average number of points RJ scored in his basketball games. This step-by-step presentation clearly models the procedure for finding the mean of a data set, including examples with both whole number and decimal answers. After viewing the presentation, work through the Try It! problems as a whole class before assigning the Test Yourself questions as independent practice.
