How good are SF Giant Barry Bonds' career homerun statistics? How does Barry compare to Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa? In this workshop we will give an introduction to organizing and graphing data with emphasis on topics appropriate to grades 7-12. Such calculation as the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation and graphical presentations such as stemplots and boxplots will be presented. Go Giants!
