Lesson 6.SP.

3 (ALT 1)
Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

Obj. 6.SP.3
Introduction
 Today we will be learning about Statistics.

 Statistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with


collecting and analyzing a set of data.

 When data has been collected, statisticians like to


“measure” two things:

1) Center
2) Variability
Section 1:
Measures of Center
Measures of Center
• A measure of center is one number that represents the
center of a set of data.

• There are two different ways you can find the center:

 Mean
 Median
 Mode
Mean

Mean = Average
What is the Mean?
Your report card has an average on it.

 The Mean is the average.

 Twosimple steps will give you the


mean of a set of numbers.

Step 1 Step 2
Add the numbers. Divide by the # of
items in the dataset.

Mean = Average
Example of Mean:
Step 1 Step 2
Add the numbers. Divide by the # of
items in the dataset.

DATASET: 2, 3, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 4

14
Add the numbers: 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 =

1.75
Divide by total items: 14 ÷ 8 =

Mean
Median

Median = Middle
What is the Median?

 The Median is the middle number.


 How do you find the Median?

If there is just 1
middle #:
your done!
ORDER FIND
the numbers. the middle #.
If there are 2 Average the 2
middle #’s middle numbers.

Median = Middle
Example of Median
If there is just 1
middle #:
your done!
ORDER FIND
the numbers. the middle #.
If there are 2 Average the 2
middle #’s middle numbers.

Add the Then,


2 middle Divide
numbers by 2

DATASET: 2, 3, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 4

Arrange in order:

1 + 2 = 3 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5

Median
Mode

Mode = Most
What is Mode?

The Mode is the number (or item) that appears the


Most often.

You can have 1 mode.


You can have more than 1 mode.
There may be no mode at all!

Mode = Most
Example of Mode
You can determine Mode with numerical or non-
numerical data.

Which beverage appears


most often? Cokes

That’s your mode!


Example of Mode

DATASET: 2, 3, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 4

Mode 1
Section 2:
Measures of Variability
Measures of Variability
• A measure of variability (or variation) is used to
describe how spread out the data is.

• There are two different ways to determine variation.

 Range
 Interquartile Range (IQR)

Today we will just look at RANGE.


Range

Range = Biggest – Smallest


What is the Range?

 The Range is the difference between the biggest number


and the smallest number.

 Meteorologist might use the range when discussing the


spread of temperatures across the nation.

Range = Biggest Smallest


Example of Range

Range = Biggest – Smallest

DATASET: 2, 3, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 4

Subtract: 4–0= 4

Range
You Try #1

Mandy’s math test scores:


90, 85, 80, 70, 90, 65

Mean _____

Median _____

Mode _____

Range _____
You Try #2
You Try #3
Summary....
Mean = Average

Middle
Median =

Most
Mode =
Biggest – Smallest
Range =
Remember....

Mean measures Center

Median measures Center

Range measures Variability
