Question

100 POINTS HELP! THIS IS A PROJECT. NOT IN A RUSH.

Describe how to find the terms mean, median, mode, and range of a group of numbers.

Pretend you are a teacher trying to describe these terms to a student. Make sure you write as if you are the teacher and explain each term as if the student is learning this for the first time. Be descriptive and give examples. Make sure you include the data set (the group of numbers) you will be working with. Be sure to use complete sentences. Be creative!

Answer 1

Hello class!

Explanation:

1. The mean is the average of a data set.

2. The mode is the most common number in a data set.

3. The median is the middle of the set of numbers.

Of the three, the mean is the only one that requires a formula. I like to think of it in the other dictionary sense of the word (as in, it’s mean as opposed to nice!). That’s because, compared to the other two, it’s not as easy to work with.
