Mean Median and Mode PowerPoint

The document defines and provides examples to calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Mean is the average calculated by summing all data values and dividing by the count. Median is the middle value when data is ordered from lowest to highest. Mode is the most frequently occurring value. Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating each metric for sample data sets.

Mean, Median,

Mode, and
Range
Mean is the average of a
set of data. To calculate
the mean, find the sum of
the data and then divide
by the number of data.
12, 15, 11, 11, 7, 13
First, find the sum of the data.
12 + 15 +11 + 11 + 7 + 13 = 69
Then divide by the number of data.
69 / 6 = 11.5

The mean is 11.5


You can remember that “mean” means to
average because the “mean teacher
averages your grade.”

An electronics store
sells tablets at the
following prices:
$350, $275, $500,
$325, $100, $375, and
$300. What is the
mean price?

Find your answer before clicking!


$350 + $275 + $500 + $325 + $100 +$375 + $300 =

$2225

$2225 / 7 = $317.86

The mean or average price of a


tablet is $317.86.
Median is the middle
number in a set of data
when the data is
arranged in numerical
order.
12, 15, 11, 11, 7, 13
First, arrange the data in numerical
order. 7, 11, 11, 12, 13, 15
Then find the number in the middle
or the average of the two numbers
in the middle.
11 + 12 = 23 23 / 2 = 11.5
The median is 11.5
An electronics store sells tablets at
the following prices: $350, $275,
$500, $325, $100, $375, and
$300. What is the median price?

Find your answer before clicking!


First place the prices in numerical
order.
$100, $275, $300, $325, $350, $375,
$500

The price in the middle is the median


price.

The median price is $325.


The mode is the
number that occurs the
most.
12, 15, 11, 11, 7, 13

The mode is 11.


Sometimes a set of data will have more
than one mode.
For example, in the following set the
numbers both the numbers 5 and 7
appear twice.

2, 9, 5, 7, 8, 6, 4, 7, 5

5 and 7 are both the mode and this set is said


to be bimodal.
Sometimes there is no mode in a set of data.

3, 8, 7, 6, 12, 11, 2, 1

All the numbers in this set occur only


once therefore there is no mode in this
set.
You can remember that mode
means the number that occurs
the most because “mode” and
“most” sound alike!
$100, $275, $300, $325, $350, $375,
$500

What is the mode ?

Find your answer before clicking!


$100, $275, $300, $325, $350, $375, $500

There is no mode!
The range of a set of data is the difference between the
largest and the smallest number in the set.

For example, consider the following set:

40, 30, 43, 48, 26, 50, 55, 40, 34, 42, 47, and 50

To find the range you would take the largest number, 55,
and subtract the smallest number, 26.

55 – 26 = 29

The range is 29!


Mean The average

Median The number or


average of the
numbers in the
middle

Mode The number that


occurs most
