Scavenger Hunt Essay
1. Select a topic of interest to you and record the topic in your posting, for example: “What is the average number of hours people watch TV every week?” Make sure the question you ask will be answered with a number, rather than answers with words.
• What is the average number of hours per week that the ACRO Athletes spend training at the gym?
2. Write a hypothesis of what you expect your research to reveal. Example: Adults 21 years and over watch an average of 2.5 hours of TV per day.
• ACRO Athletes spend on average of 5 hours weekly training at the gym.
3. Sample at least fifteen people and record their data in a simple table or chart; study the examples from Section 12-3.

Total Daily Hours 7.5 9.5 11 10.5 18 56.5
• The mean would be the sum of all the athletes hours added together
• 7.5 + 9.5 + 11 + 10.5 + 18 = 56.5
• Then I would divide the sum total by the number of athletes
• 56 / 12 = 4.708 hours on average per week training at the gym
• To find the median I need to rearrange my data in order from the lowest to the highest amount of hours spent at the gym
• 7.5 + 9.5 + 10.5 + 11 +18 = 56.5
• The midpoint is 10.5
• Therefore, the median is …show more content…
• There is no mode for this data set because all values occur only once

• The mean would be the sum of all the athletes hours added together
• 3 + 5 + 4 + 0 + 4 = 16
• Then I would divide the sum total by the number of athletes
• 16 / 4 = 4 hours on average per week training at the gym
• To find the median I need to rearrange my data in order from the lowest to highest amount of hours spent at the gym
• 0 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 16
• The midpoint is 4
• Therefore, the median is 4
• The mode for this data set is 4 because occurs most often
