What are mean, median, mode and range? (Let's plunge in #2)
In order to know what mean, median and mode are, we need to have knowledge on basic addition, multiplication, division & data sets. Data sets can be mathematically described in various ways. One common way is to use different kinds of averages. mean, median, and mode are examples of averages. Along with range, they help to summarize the data. Mean - The mean is what people usually show when they say “average”. You can calculate the mean by adding up all the numbers in the data and then dividing by how many numbers there are. For example, if you have 12 numbers, you add them up and divide by 12. This will give you the mean of the data. Median - The median is the middle number of the data set. It is just as it sounds. To find the median you put all the numbers in order (from lowest to highest or highest to lowest) and then pick the middle number. If there is an odd number of data points, then you will have only one middle number. If there is an even number of data points, then ...
