Constructing viable arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others is a vital math skill to master. Peter argues that in question 1 of the statistics and probability section of the spiral that the mean tells one the middle number that half the games were below and the other half of the games were above while the mean explains how many points the team should score if they scored the same amount of points each game. Is he correct? Please provide a topic sentence with an ample amount of details to back up your positions of whether you agree with Peter or not. Make sure to specifically explain mathematically why you agree or disagree with Peter as well.
