    An average has three types: mode, mean and median.
    𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥  𝐨𝐟  𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬
    𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞 = 𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭  𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭  𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞                                      𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧 =  
    𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫  𝐨𝐟  𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬
    𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 = 𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞  𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞  𝐢𝐧  𝐚  𝐬𝐞𝐭  𝐨𝐟  𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚
    Example: Answer the mode, mean and median from the data below.
    4, 3, 5, 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 5

    To find an average, need to list the


    date in order from the smallest value
    【Answer】
    4, 3, 5, 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 5 ⇒ 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6

    Mode: 5 --- 5 is the most frequent value. (Because there are three “5”)
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"
    Mean: 4 --- !
    = !
    =4 Median: 4 --- 4 is the middle value.

    The column graph below shows the number of students classified by test scores.

    Score of students The number of students who took

    2 Common questions
    1 (1) What is the mode of the test?
    (2) What is the mean of the test?
    0
    6 7 8 9 10 (3) What is the median of the test?
    Score

    Answers of common questions


    (1) Mode = 9 marks Ans. 9 marks
    (2) total of values = 6×2 + 7×1 + 8×2 + 9×3 + 10×1 = 72 marks
    number of values = 2+1+2+3+1 = 9 students
    !"
    Mean = !
    = 8  marks Ans. 8 marks

    (3) Line up all marks in score order and find the middle value.
    6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10
    Meadian = 8  marks Ans. 8 marks
