As a student maths teacher a number of questions spring to mind:
What type of strawberry?
Where were they grown?
Was it an international selection?
How big were the strawberries?
How many strawberries were counted?
Who carried out this research?
Which average was used?
How reliable is this statistic?
Thank you for this. It has become the starter for a statistics lesson.
