Question

For questions #6-8, use this data set and show your work  5, 10, 12, 4, 6, 11, 13, 5

Answer 1

Mean (average) can be found by adding up all the numbers and then dividing that by how many numbers there are.
(5+10+12+4+6+11+13+5) / 8 = 66/8 = 8.25 <==

the mode (the number used most often) = 5....just so u know, there doesn't have to be a mode, and sometimes there is more then 1 mode. But for this one, the mode is 5. <==

median (the middle number)...for this, u put the numbers in order...
4,5,5,(6,10),11,12,13
now start moving from both ends going inward until u find the middle number...keep in mind, when u have an odd number of numbers, u will have 1 middle number.....but when there is an even number of numbers, like in this case, u will have 2 middle numbers...so u take ur 2 middle numbers, add them, then divide by 2 to get ur median.
median = (6 + 10) / 2 = 16/2 = 8 <==
