1. the most frequently occurring number(s) in a set of data ⇒ Mode
2. the smallest and largest values in a data set ⇒ Extreme values
3. the smallest value in a data set ⇒ Minimum
4. the difference between the largest and smallest data points ⇒ Range
5. the largest value in a data set ⇒ Maximum
6. the middle value of a set of data arranged in numerical order ⇒ Median
Explanation:
The term "Minimum" is defined as the smallest value in the data set.
- For example : Consider a data set {1,2,3,4,5}.
- Here, the minimum is 1.
The term "Maximum" is defined as the largest value in the data set.
- For example : Consider a data set {1,2,3,4,5}.
- Here, the maximum is 5.
The term "Range" is defined as the difference between the largest and smallest data points in the data set.
- For example : Consider a data set {1,2,3,4,5}.
- To find the range : (Largest value - smallest value).
- Range ⇒ 5 - 1 = 4. Here, the Range is 4.
The term "Median" is the middle value of the set data after arranging it in the ascending order.
- For example : Consider a data set {6,3,2,4,1,5}.
- To find the Median : Arrange the data set in the ascending order.
- Therefore, the modified data set is {1,2,3,4,5,6}.
- Now, the middle term in the above data set is 4.
The term "Mode" is defined as the most repeated numbers in a data set.
- For example : Consider a data set {1,2,4,4,5}.
- To find the Mode : look for the most repeated number in the data set.
- Here, the number 4 is repeated two times. Therefore, mode is 4.
The term "extreme values" is defined as the smallest and the largest values in a data set.
- For example : Consider a data set {11,13,15,17,19}.
- To find the extreme : Find the smallest value in the data set and also find the largest value in the data set.
- Therefore, the extreme values are 11 and 19.
