Name Measures: Mean, Median, Mode, and Range- Step-by-Step Lesson Lesson 1 Statistics Problem: 1. Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set: 18, 17, 21, 21, 24, 16, 29, 18, 21,17 mean = median = mode = range = Explanation: The "mean" is the "average", where we add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of integers we used. Mean = The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. The best way to determine this is to write all the numbers in numerical order. We can use one of the following formulas to determine the position of the median in that set. When the numbers of element in set are odd then use this formula: Median = Mode is the data item that occurs most often. The "range" is just the difference between the largest and smallest values. mean = = 20.2
Name The number of element in set is 10 which is even number. Median = = = 5.5 (Position 5.5 means that we take the average between the 5 th and 6 th position.) 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 21, 21, 21, 24, 29 If we average 18 and 21, we get: Median is: 19.5 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 21, 21, 21, 24, 29 Mode = The item that occurs most often. Mode is: 21 Range = 29-16 = 13 Answer is: 13

(a) 15 (b) 5 2. Some farmers compared how many tractors were on their farm. Farmer Number of Trackers Farmer Jones Farmer Davis Farmer Thomas Farmer Robin Farmer Lee What was the median number of tractors the farmers had? 3. Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set: 55, 44, 42, 70, 56, 64, 44, 63, 39 mean = median = mode = range =
Name Measures: Mean, Median, Mode, and Range - Guided Lesson Explanation Explanation#1 The mean is the average of the numbers. We have to find out the mean by adding the numbers together and then dividing by the number of numbers in the group. There are 5 numbers in the group. If the average was 14, that would mean that the sum of all numbers would be: 5 x 14 = 70 To find the number, we solve: 17 + 17 + 15 + 16 + n = 70 65 + n = 70 (subtract 65 from both sides) n = 5 When n = 5, the mean is 14. Explanation#2 The median is the middle number of the data set. There are 5 pieces of data. Let s list the data in numeric order: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4 We can use this formula to determine the position of data: Median = Median = = = 3rd number of tractors 1, 2, 3, 3, 4 The median is 3 tractors.
Name Explanation#3 The "mean" is the "average" we are used to, where we add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. Mean = The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so we may have to rewrite our list first. Median = Mode is the data item that occurs most often. The "range" is just the difference between the largest and smallest values. mean = = 53 Median = = = 5 (position 5 in numeric order) 39, 42, 44, 44, 55, 56, 63, 64, 70 Median is 55. Mode = 39, 42, 44, 44, 55, 56, 63, 64, 70 Item that occurs most often. Mode is: 44 Range = 70-39 = 31 Answer is: 31
