D.RE Order a given set of data, find the median, and specify the range of values.

2. Median Mean Mode Range Hey diddle diddle,
the median’s the middle,
You add then divide
for the mean.
The mode is the one
that you see the most,
And the range is
the difference between.

3. Statisticians figure the range, median, mode, and mean of data collected.

4. This is just a different way of looking at numbers.

5. The data collected is the number of whales.

6. Step one- Put the data in order from least to greatest./ / / / / / / / / / 31 27 36 23 23 25 15 19 19 20

13. 10 12 14 16 23 14 75 15 No mode Greatest – least 13 14
Hey diddle diddle, the median’s the middle, You add then divide for the mean. The mode is the one that you see the most, And the range is the difference between. 75 = 15
75 ÷ 5 =
No mode
Greatest – least 13
23-10=

14. Step one – Put the numbers in order

15. 83
Hey diddle diddle, the median’s the middle, You add then divide for the mean. The mode is the one that you see the most, And the range is the difference between.
431 =
431 ÷ 5 = 86 95
Greatest – least 17
95-78=

16. Step one – Put the numbers in order

32 ÷ 12= 1
Greatest – least 1
6-5=
