Mean, Median,

Mode, and
Range
Mean is the average oI a
set oI data. To calculate
the mean, Iind the sum oI
the data and then divide
by the number oI data.
, , , , 7,
7 69
69 / 6 .
irst, Iind the sum oI the data.
Then divide by the number oI data.
The mean is .
ou can remember that 'mean means to
average because the 'mean teacher
averages your grade.
or Example: -
Vinewood sells its wallpapers
Iollowing prices: , 7, , ,
, 7, and . What is the mean
price?
7 7

/ 7 7.86
The mean or average price oI a
Wallpaper is 7.86.
Median is the middle
number in a set oI data
when the data is
arranged in numerical
order.
, , , , 7,
irst, arrange the data in numerical
order.
7, , , , ,
Then Iind the number in the middle
or the average oI the two numbers
in the middle.
/ .
The median is .
t Venwoods Iloorings are sold at
Iollowing prices: , 7, ,
, , 7, and .
What is the median price?
irst place the prices in numerical
order.
, 7, , , , 7,
The price in the middle is the median
price.
The median price is .
The mode is the
number that occurs the
most.
, , , , 7,
The mode is .
$ometimes a set oI data will have more
than one mode.
or example, in the Iollowing set the
numbers both the numbers and 7 appear
twice.
, 9, , 7, 8, 6, 4, 7,
and 7 are both the mode and this set is said
to be bimodal.
$ometimes there is no mode in a set oI data.
, 8, 7, 6, , , ,
ll the numbers in this set occur only
once thereIore there is no mode in this set.
, 7, , , , 7,
What is the mode ?
ind your answer beIore clicking!
, 7, , , , 7,
There is no mode!
ou can remember that mode
means the number that occurs
the most because 'mode and
'most sound alike!
The range oI a set oI data is the diIIerence between the
largest and the smallest number in the set.
or example, consider the Iollowing set:
4, , 4, 48, 6, , , 4, 4, 4, 47, and
To Iind the range you would take the largest number, ,
and subtract the smallest number, 6.
6 9
The range is 9!
