Interpreting Measures of Center

Mean The sum of the data divided by the number of items in the data set. Usually thought of as the average. Example: Julie’s score on the math tests this year are 85, 67, 92, 50, 100, and 92. Mean = (85 + 67 + 92 + 50 + 100 + 92) 6 = 486 6 = 81

Median The value appearing at the center of a sorted list. Numbers must be written in order from least to greatest. If the set has two numbers in the middle, you add the 2 numbers and divide by two to find the median. Example: Julie’s score on the math tests this year are 85, 67, 92, 50, 100, and 92. 50, 67, 85, 92, 92, 100. Median = 85 + 92 2 = 177 2 = 88.5

Mode The value that occurs most often. A data set can have no mode, one mode, or more than one mode. Example: Julie’s score on the math tests this year are 85, 67, 92, 50, 100, and 92. 50, 67, 85, 92, 92, 100. Mode = 92

Find the median number of days above 70°. 3, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 14 Median = 12

3, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 14 Mode = 14 Month Days over 70° March 12 April 6 Whiteboard: Month Days over 70° March 12 April 6 May 8 June 13 July 14 August 3 September A weather station created this table to show the number of days over 70°. Find the mode. 3, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 14 Mode = 14

Mean = 10 Median = 12 Mode = 14 Month Days over 70° March 12 April 6 Whiteboard: Month Days over 70° March 12 April 6 May 8 June 13 July 14 August 3 September A weather station created this table to show the number of days over 70°. If you were trying to convince a friend that it was an especially warm summer, which measure of center would you use? Mean = 10 Median = 12 Mode = 14

Mrs. Sprinkles class received the following scores on their last quiz: 12, 18, 14, 19, 20, 19 Find the mean, median, and mode of the scores. 102 + x 7 Mean- 17 Median- 18.5 Mode- 19 = 18 X = 24

Range is the difference between the largest and the smallest value in a set of data. 13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13 The largest value in the list is 21, and the smallest is 13, so the range is 21 – 13 = 8.

Find the range of the following set: Whiteboard: Find the range of the following set: 3 , 9 , 3 , 7, 4 , 9 , 3 , 7 , 4, 7, 11 11 − 3 = 8
