Math questions
In addition to the report,

looseleaf.
The final report is due at the beginning of class on

Finding Averages
Finding Averages
When researching data
on different birds, I noticed that there was often a range for the data. I
wanted to try to find one average. I know that to find the average, I have to
add the data, and divide by the number of data points. Can you help me with this?
Click on the “BirdGuide” link. Choose one of the “Most Popular Birds” on the homepage, and choose
one bird. For that bird, find the average, in metric, (Hint: you will need to go to the "Life History" page for your bird)
- Length
- Wingspan
- Weight
- Clutch size
- Nestling period
- Incubation period
Use the worksheets to show your work. Also, please lookup what all of this data refers to. Thank you!
