Math Activity 5 – Mean, Median & Mode

How to find Mean, Median & Mode When given several numbers, stats, or figures, you may be asked to find the most common using one of these methods:

Mean Mean – Add all the numbers and divide the sum by the number of items. This is sometimes called finding the AVERAGE. EX: 4, 6, 18, 32, 27, 5, 12 Add the numbers = /7 = (rounded to 15)

Median Median – The value in the middle of a sequential set of values. Put all the numbers in order from smallest to biggest, count the number of items, divide by 2, count over to that place in the items. If the answer is an even number the answer is the average of the two numbers. EX: 4, 6, 18, 32, 27, 5, 12  Reorder: 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 27, 32  There are 7 numbers so split them evenly 4, 5, , 27, 32  If there are an even number of items, add the two middle ones together and divide by 2

Mode Mode – The item that occurs most often in a set of values. EX: 4, 6, 18, 32, 27, 18, 5, 12, 18, 32, 1. Reorder: 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 18, 18, 27, 32, Find the item that repeats most often 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 18, 18, 27, 32, Your Mode is 18

What is Gross Domestic Product (GDP)?

Gross Domestic Product Components Economists compute a statistic that shows the value, in money, of all goods and services produced in a country. Consumer Spending – money that you and other consumers spend to buy goods and services. Government Spending – money spent by federal, state, and local governments on anything from office supplies to road construction to aircraft carriers Net Exports – spending by foreigners who buy US goods (exports) minus spending by US consumers on foreign goods (imports)

Do the math of GDP GDP = C + I + G + X – M (C = consumer spending, I = investment spending, G = government spending, X = exports, and M = imports) Figuring % of increase or decrease % of change = difference / original GDP per capita = GDP / population Don’t forget to round appropriately

Figuring Total Quantity Total Quantity = # of items per container X # of containers EX: You have 45 cartons of eggs. Each carton holds 12 eggs. How many eggs to you have in total? 12 eggs per container X 45 containers = 540 eggs

Production Per Hour Production Per Hour = Total Output / Total Hours EX: You deliver 90 newspapers in 3 hours Production per hour = 90 / 3 30 papers per hour
