1. Exploring Mathematical Connections Objectives: 1) To properly perform some basic statistics. 2) To learn about potential careers involving mathematics. Warm-up: Evaluate the following: 1) 24 is 60% of what?2) x + xy – y; use x = 7, and y = 5 Given the following numbers, calculate the mean, median, mode, min and max. 10, 12, 15, 6, 20, 10, 11

2. Basic Statistics Warm-up Data: 10, 12, 15, 6, 20, 10, 11 Mean = 12, Median = 11 Mode = 10, Min = 6, Max = 20 Now create a Box and Whiskers Plot! Find the mean, median, mode, min, max and create a Box and Whiskers Plot. 1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 4, 2, 9, 1, 5

3. NFL Salary Cap How is the NFL Salary Cap calculated? It has a lot of elements involved, but a basic formula can be derived as: 55% of League Media (regular season games) + 45% NFL Ventures/Postseason + 40% Local (preseason games) – 47.5% of the Joint Contribution Amount (Projected League-wide benefits) League Media = $4.5 billion NFL Ventures = $5.4 billion Local = $1.25 billion Joint Contribution Amount = $1 billion
