Task+1

= Task 1 Instructions = Refer to the syllabus content on the topic of statistics listed below. I have underlined a total of 8 topics for you in your assigned teams of 4 to research on and contribute to this wiki page. For an idea on what is expected of you, I have prepared a wiki page on point 7 which is on **measures of central tendencies** otherwise known as **mean, median and mode**.

To contribute to this wiki, you are to create a page on the assigned topic that you are to research on. To do so, click on "New Page" under Actions Bar. Feel free to reformat the appearance of the wiki page; most importantly, add resources to the wiki page to help enhance understanding on the assigned topic. These additional resources may be a **video resource**, or an **online game**, or even **online printable worksheets** that can be used for additional practice on the said topic. After you are done with the creation of the page, do remember to link it up by clicking "edit navigation" to link your page to your assigned topic. = = = = = Syllabus Content =
