3). Pick one concept from either Chapter 13 or Chapter 15, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
One of the topics that I found useful was in Chapter 13: numbers? In section C Averages. One of the concepts that I always seem to relate back to math is the medium and mode of something. Medium is something is that is the midway mark of a plot of number and or letters. The mode of something is that the most that is most offended used. What I have always been taught it is the number or letter that is the used the most with a plot of information. I never thought this could be used in there of communication. In the book it talks about how we all use the medium and mode as a way of measuring which is important in our reasoning. We can use both sides of this to determine comparisons in a way that the data will be perceived clearly. The fact in the reading that I was the most interesting was with in finding the medium and mode of something numbers are used more frequently then letters.
I enjoying reading your blog post, it thought out and well put together. I wrote something different, so it's good to write a comment on something new and see it in someone else perspective. I find it really useful that you explained all the definitions in this section. The funny thing is that you can actually relate the reading and your post to exactly what you can learn in math class. I agree with you, I never thought that it could be used for communication. I really like how you explain that we can use it. Great job in explaining Averages and keep up the good work!
