2
Mean

• Is the average of a set of numbers.

3
How is the mean of a set of numbers found?

• Add all the numbers in the set together.
• Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the
  set.
• The quotient is the mean of the set of numbers.
• Example 20, 15, 25
• Add 20152560
• Divide 60 by 3
• The mean is 20

4
Median

• Is the number that is in the middle of a set of
  numbers.
• (If two numbers make up the middle of a set of
  numbers then the median is the average of those
  two numbers.)

5
How is the median of a set of numbers found?

• Arrange the numbers in the set in order from
  least to greatest.
• The middle number is the median of a set of
  numbers.
• If more than one number is in the middle of the
  set of numbers, the average of those two numbers
  is the median of the set of numbers.

6

• Examples
• 10, 15, 20
• 15 is the median of this set of numbers.
• 10, 15, 20, 25
• Add 15 20 35
• Divide 35 by 2 17.5
• The median of this set of numbers is 17.5

7
Mode

• Is the number in a set of numbers that occurs the
  most often.

8
How do I identify the mode of a set of numbers?

• Arrange the set of numbers in order from least to
  greatest.
• The number that occurs the most often is the mode
  of that set of numbers.

9

• Example
• 10, 15, 10, 15, 20, 25, 15, 30
• 10, 10, 15, 15, 15, 20, 25, 30
• 15 is the mode of this set of numbers because it
  is the numbers that occurs the most.

10
Range

• Is the difference between the highest and lowest
  numbers in a set of numbers.

11
How is the range of a set of numbers identified?

• Arrange the numbers in the set in order from
  least to greatest.
• Subtract the lowest number from the highest
  number in the set of numbers.
• The difference of the two numbers is the range of
  a set of numbers.

12

• Example
• 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
• 50 10 40
• 40 is the range of this set of numbers.

Its Time To Practice!

• 10 5 25 50 15 10 40 35 10 20
• 5 10 10 10 15 20 25 35 40 50
• What is the mean?
• The answer is 10.
• What is the median?
• The answer is 17.5
• What is the mode?
• The answer is 10.
• What is the range?
• The answer is 45.
