mean, median, mode
1,2,4,6,8,10,10,12
to find the mean for this set of data, first add up all the numbers
1+2+4+6+8+10+10+12=53
next, divide the sum by the amount of data points and quotient is the mean of the data
53/8=6.625 --> mean
to find the median of the data, first write the data points in increasing order
1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10, 12
next find the middle value
there are eight data points so the median will be the average of the middle two values (6, 8)
so the median of this data is 7
to find the mode, simply locate the value that occurs the most, so in this case, the mode is 10.
honestly kinda short.... but i think you do a good job using examples of numbers or something like that.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeletevery well explained. Good job dude.
ReplyDeletekevin,
ReplyDeletegood lesson and explanations. some connection to the real world would have been a nice addition, but still good.
