How to do mean median mode range

1 Answer

4 votes

Median is the number in the middle. Here's an example:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Just go out in from each end, so we can do:

2, 3, 4

Then do it again until you reach one number.

3

So 3 is the median. If you have an equal number of numbers, though, this is how you do it:

So your numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Do the same thing, but then you reach the 2 and the 3 here's what to do:

1. add them together.

2. Divide by two.

So in this example, the median would be:

3.

Mode is the number that repeats itself the most. So like this:

1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5

The mode is 3, because it repeats itself the most. It isn't 2, because 2 only repeats itself only twice, while 3 repeats itself three times.

Range is the biggest number in the set subtracted by the smallest number. So like this:

1, 2, 3, 4

So we would do:

4-1...

...which is 3. In this set, the range is 3.

Hope I helped!
