Question

How do you Calculate the mean,median and mode in grouped data.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean:

data: 3,6,9,10

You first add all of the numbers together.

3+6+9+10= 28

There 4 numbers in the data set, so you divide 4 by the sum of all of the numbers.

28/4= 7

So the mean is 7.

The median:

data: 3,6,9,10

first put all of the numbers in numerical order.

3,6,9,10

Then you find the middle number in the data set.

3,6,(the middle number here),9,10

to find the middle number, do the mean of 6 and 9

The mean of 6 and 9 is 7.5

So, 7.5 is the median

another example: 3,4,7,9,13

The middle number is 7

so 7 is the median

The mode:

data: 3,6,9,10

The mode is the number that is repeated the most

in this data, there is no mode.

but in this data: 4,4,6,9,11

4 is the mode because it was repeated the most
