Mean Median Mode Range

The document discusses how to calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. It provides examples and steps for finding each measure, including adding all values and dividing by the count for mean, ordering values and taking the middle for median, finding the most frequent value for mode, and subtracting the minimum from the maximum for range.

O Mean : (average)

O The "Mean" is computed by adding all of

the numbers in the data together and dividing by the number elements contained in the data set.

O Example :

O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7
O Number of Elements in Data Set = 7 O Mean = ( 2 + 5 + 9 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 ) / 7 = 5

O Median : (middle) O The "Median" of a data set is dependent on

whether the number of elements in the data set is odd or even. O First reorder the data set from the smallest to the largest O Mark off high and low values until you reach the middle. O If there 2 middles, add them and divide by 2.

O Examples : Odd Number of Elements O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7

O Reordered = 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9

^
O Median = 5

O Examples : Even Number of Elements O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4 O Reordered = 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 9

^^ Median = ( 4 + 5 ) / 2 = 4.5

O Mode : (most often) O The "Mode" for a data set is the element

that occurs the most often.


O It is not uncommon for a data set to have

more than one mode.


O This happens when two or more elements

occur with equal frequency in the data set.

O Example : O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Mode = 5

O Example:
O Data Set = 2, 5, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Modes = 2 and 5

O Range : O The "Range" for a data set is the

difference between the largest value and smallest value contained in the data set.
O First reorder the data set from smallest to

largest then subtract the first element from the last element.

Examples :
O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Reordered = 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 O Range = ( 9 - 2 ) = 7

O To find the mean:


O 1. ------------------- all values. O 2. ----------------------- by the number of the

values.

O Example : O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Number of Elements in Data Set = 7 O Mean = ( 2 + 5 + 9 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 ) / 7 = 5

To find the median:


O 1. Put numbers in -------------------- from least

to greatest.
O 2. Mark off high and low values until you

reach the -----------------O 3. If there 2 middles, add them and ------------

------ by 2

O Examples : Odd Number of Elements O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Reordered = 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9

^^ Median = ( 4 + 5 ) / 2 = 4.5

O To find the mode:

O 1. Put numbers in ------------------ from least to

greatest.
O 2. Find the numbers that appears the -----------

-----.
O 3. There may be more than one mode, or

O there may be --------------- .

O Example : O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Mode = 5 O Example: O Data Set = 2, 5, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Modes = 2 and 5

To find the range:


1. Put numbers in ----------------- from least to greatest. 2. --------------------------- the lowest number from the highest number.

Examples :
O Data Set = 2, 5, 9, 3, 5, 4, 7 O Reordered = 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 O Range = ( 9 - 2 ) = 7
