INTRODUCTION
Numeracy refers to the field of study in which the knowledge, skills and interests are
given to the different elements in the vast field of mathematics (Kihlblom Landtblom, 2018). The
different branches of study in mathematics are studied and applied in a data set to analyse and
interpret, and finally, produce diversified results. Mean, mode, median, etc are some of the tools
which are used by the analysts to in their field of study. The following report highlights the use
of these tools in numeracy, like mean, mode, median, standard deviation to analyse the data set
collected related to the temperature of Peterborough for ten consecutive days. The temperature of
11th and 13th day is also calculated using tools in numeracy.
