Mean Median Mode

This document defines and provides examples for calculating the mean, median, mode, and range of data sets. It explains that the mean is the average found by adding all values and dividing by the number of values. The median is the middle number after arranging the data from lowest to highest. The mode is the most frequently occurring value. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values. It provides step-by-step worked examples of finding each of these values for sets of test score data.

What is the MEAN? How do we find it?


The mean is the numerical average of the data set. The mean is found by adding all the values in the set, then dividing the sum by the number of values.

Lets find Abbys MEAN science test score?

95 63 73 86
97

The mean is 87

783

What is the MEDIAN? How do we find it?


The MEDIAN is the number that is in the middle of a set of data

1. Arrange the numbers in the set in order from least to greatest. 2. Then find the number that is in the middle.

63 73 84 86 88 95 97 97 100

The median is 88.


Half the numbers are less than the median. Half the numbers are greater than the median.

Median
Sounds like MEDIUM Think middle when you hear median.

How do we find the MEDIAN when two numbers are in the middle?

1. Add the two numbers. 2. Then divide by 2.

63 73 84 88 95 97 97 100

88 + 95 = 183

183

The median is 91.5

What is the MODE? How do we find it?


The MODE is the piece of data that occurs most frequently in the data set.

A set of data can have:

One mode More than one mode No mode

63 73 84 86 88 95 97 97 100

The value 97 appears twice.


All other numbers appear just once.

97 is the MODE

A Hint for remembering the MODE The first two letters give you a hint
