Part 1: Find Out About the Projects' Goals

1. Look at the graph "Goal ($)."

	Write: What were the projects' goals for raising money? What is the range of the goals? What is the variation in goals?
	Discuss: What do you notice about the shape of the data?

2. Add the mean and median to your graph.

	Graph: Click on the ruler to the right of the graph and select Show Measure Labels and Mean and Median under Measures of Center.
	Write: What is the mean goal? (Hint: Mean is the blue line.) What is the median goal? (Hint: Median is the red line.)
	Discuss: How do the mean and median compare? What does the difference between the mean and the median tell us about the goals that projects set? (Hint: remember the mean is the average of all of the project's goals. The median is the middle amount when all the goals are sorted from smallest to largest.)
