The value in a set of data that occurs most often.

The sum of all the data values divided by the number of data values. The middle value of the data set when it has been arranged in ascending order. That is, from the smallest value to the highest value.

A class of 25 students takes a math test, here are the scores 75, 87, 93, 60, 85, 83, 94, 64, 77, 75, 93, 53, 83, 82, 74, 68, 57, 91, 83, 89, 75, 85, 77, 68, 100

To find the mean Add up all the test scores. 75 + 87 + 93 + 60 + 85 + 83 + 94 + 64 + 77 + 75 + 93 + 53 + 83 + 82 + 74 + 68 + 57 + 91 + 83 + 89 + 75 + 85 + 77 + 68 + 100 = 1917 Divide the number of test scores by 25. 1917/25 = 78.84 78.84 is the class average for the exam.

To find the median Organize the numbers from highest to lowest. 53, 57, 60, 64, 68, 68, 74, 75, 75, 75, 77, 77, 82, 83, 83, 83, 85, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 93, 94, 100 Cross numbers out from each end until you reach the middle. 53, 57, 60, 64, 68, 68, 74, 75, 75, 75, 77, 77, 82, 83, 83, 83, 85, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 93, 94, 100 This means that your median is 82.

To find the mode Organize the numbers from highest to lowest. 53, 57, 60, 64, 68, 68, 74, 75, 75, 75, 77, 77, 82, 83, 83, 83, 85, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 93, 94, 100 Look for the number that occurs most often. Since 75 and 83 both occur three times, they are both the mode.

Cheat Yeats wants to calculate his GPA for the year. His final grades are Reading B+ Writing AArithmetic A Government B Snorkeling A Carpentry B-

He compares his grades to the GPA grade values GPA Grade Values B+ = 3.3 A- = 3.7 A = 4.0 B = 3.0 A- = 3.7 B- = 2.7

Add them all together. 3.3 + 3.7 + 4.0 + 3.0 + 3.7 + 2.7 = 20.4 Divide 20.4 by 6. 20.4/6 = 3.4 Yeats learned that his GPA was a 3.4.

In certain cities like Miami one would think that it is rich and prosperous because of the millionaires, artists, and movie stars that live there. However, the working class makes Miami one of the poorest cities to live income wise. With regular salaries ranging from $78,000 to $5000 per household, the median salary is set around $25,000. Most Americans do not know that Miami is considered to be one of the poorest cities in the USA when looking at the (median) salary this is obvious. This is one thing that the median can be used for. The mode is 16-24 years old. The mode can be used is data like this to show what age group does the most exercise.
