We also learned about different math concepts such as standard deviation and how to categorize a data set.  My project is based on the King Penguin, the King Penguin is 1 of 18 members of its family. There are about 18–21 species in 1 family (Spheniscidae) with 6 species found in oceans of the Southern Hemisphere. The data I chose to focus on was the average life span of a King Penguin, so below I have data in the range of their life span. a) 10 b) 9 c) 3 d) 9 e) 27 f) 21 g) 13 h) 3 i) 19 j) 22 k) 10 l) 12 Mean  13.166666666667 Median  11 Mode 10, 9, 3 Range 24 Minimum 3 Maximum  27 The Box and Whisker plot helps show how the data is distributed, this also gives an idea as to the lifespan data. nPr : 12! (12 - 3)! = 1320 nCr : 12! (3!(12-3)!) 12! 3! x 9! =
