Data Handling: Mean, Median, Mode

Data handling involves collecting, organizing, and analyzing data. The mean, median, and mode are

measures of central tendency that help describe data sets.

### Key Concepts:

- The mean is the average of a set of numbers, calculated by adding all the numbers and dividing by

the count.

- The median is the middle value of a data set when the numbers are arranged in order.

- The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a data set.

### Solved Examples:

1. Find the mean of the numbers 4, 8, 6, 10, and 12:

Mean = (4 + 8 + 6 + 10 + 12) ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 5 = 8

2. Find the median of the numbers 3, 7, 8, 12, 14:

Median = 8 (middle value when arranged in order)

3. Find the mode of the numbers 5, 8, 8, 9, 10:

Mode = 8 (appears most often)

4. Calculate the mean of the numbers 10, 15, 20, 25, 30:

Mean = (10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30) ÷ 5 = 100 ÷ 5 = 20

5. Find the median of the numbers 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16:

Median = (10 + 12) ÷ 2 = 11


### Real-World Applications:

- In sports, the mean is used to calculate average scores, like a player's average points per game.

- The median is used in real estate to find the middle value of house prices, giving a better idea of

the market.

- The mode is used in business to find the most popular products or services based on customer

preferences.
