Mean, median, and
mode are three kinds
of "averages".
There are many "averages" in
statistics, but these are, I think, the
three most common, and are
certainly the three you are most
likely to encounter in your pre-
statistics courses, if the topic comes
up at all.
MEAN
- the "average" you're
used to, where you add
up all the numbers and
then divide by the
number of numbers
MEDIAN
- is the "middle" value
in the list of numbers
MEDIAN
• To find the median, your
numbers have to be listed in
numerical order from smallest
to largest, so you may have to
rewrite your list before you can
find the median.
MODE
- is the value that occurs
most often. If no number in
the list is repeated, then
there is no mode for the list.
RANGE
- a list a numbers is just
the difference between
the largest and smallest
values.
