MEAN!
-arrange data in ascending order
-the sum of all data










MEDIAN!
-great to use if there is an outlier
-Find middle number
-data must be arranged in numerical order
-if there are 2 middle numbers,you find the mean of them


















MODE!
-Find the most common number in the set of data
-arrange data in ascending order
-you can have more then one mode or you can have no mode









RANGE!
-arrange the data in ascending order
-subtract the smallest data from the largest data
-Large Range=Outlier




Here is a video i found on mean, median, and mode !












Jai's Measures of Central Tendancy

Mean

  • Arrange data in ascendeing numerical order.

  • Divide the sum of all of the numbers in that set of data by how many numbers there are.
  • With an outlier less accurate..







Median
  • Arrange data in ascending numerical order.
  • Find the middle number by crossing of the end numbers until you have one or two numbers left.
  • If you have two numbers left, add both of those numbers together and then divide that number by two.

  • If you have one more number left, you have got your median.
  • Great to use if there is an outlier.









Mode

  • Arrange data in ascending numerical order.
  • You can have more than one mode or no mode at all.








Range

  • Arrange data in ascending numerical number.
  • Subtract the largest piece of dat from the smallest.
  • If you have a large range there is a posibility that you have an outlier.

This is a video that I found about mean, medain, mode, and range.

mean
  • ascending order


  • sum of all the data

  • number of data

median



  • ascending numerical order



  • the middle number



  • found in the middle













mode



  • ascending order


  • most common number


  • number that shows up the most


range



  • ascending order



  • added up numbers



  • divided

Here is a movie about mean median mode







Tanners mean, median and mode

Mean
  • the sum of all data devided by the number of data
  • outlier effects the outcome

This is a link about the mean

http://www.robertniles.com/stats/mean.shtml

Median

  • the middle number of a set of data
  • there are two middle numbers find the mean of the numbers

This is a link about median

http://www.robertniles.com/stats/median.shtml

Mode

  • the number that shows up the most

there can be more than one or no mode

This is a link about mode

http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol8/mode.html

Range

  • the largestest data minus the smallest data
  • an outlier effects the outcome

Johnray measures of central Tendancy.

Mean

  • The sum of a set of values divided by the number of values in the set.
  • Arrange the data in ascending order.


Median


  • The middle number in a set of data after have been arranged in order.
  • The median is a measure of central tendency that describes the middle of the set
    of data.

Mode


  • The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a set of data.
  • The item in a list of numbers that appears most often is the mode. For example:

Range


  • The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set.
  • Range is obtained by taking the difference of the maximum and minimum values of a given data set.

kimmy's measures of central tendency

















mean (:



arrange the data in ascending order




the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are in the data


number of data




with an outlier the mean is less accurate " average"


median




arrange the data in ascending order



the middle number in the set of data



if there are 2 middle numbers you find the mean of them


great to use if there is an outlier

mode



arrange the data in ascending order



the most frequently used number in the data



you can have more then 1 mode and no mode


Range




arrange the data in ascending order



subtract the smallest data from the largest data



large range = outlier



Alyanna's Measure of Central Tendency


Mean

- arrange the data in ascending order
- the sum of numbers divided by how many numbers there are in the data- w/ an outlier the mean is less accurate "average"
Median

- arrange the data in ascending order
- the middle number in a set of data
- if there are 2 middle numbers you find the mean of them
- great to use if there is an outlier

Mode

- arrange the data in ascending order
- most frequently used number in the data
- you can have more then one more or NO mode





- arrange the data in ascending order
- subtract the smallest number from the biggest number
- outlier = biggest number



Here is a video of Mean Median and Mode ..




Josh T's Measures of Central Tendency

Mean



  • all the numbers added together and divided by the numbers i

  • good way to find the average














Mode



  • the most occurring number in the set of data

  • easy way to find the average if most are the same number
















Median



  • the exact middle number

  • good way to find the average if there is an outlier















Range



  • the biggest number subtracted by the lowest number in the set of data

  • it helps find the middle number in between those two numbers














































Here is a video i found on mean, median, and mode.

MEAN
Definition:
-Arrange the data in ascending order

-Add all the data and divide by how many pieces of data there are

-When an outliers are present, it makes the mean less accurate
MEDIAN
Definition:

-You must arrange the data in ascending order

-Find the number in the middle number

-If there are 2 numbers in the middle, add them, then divide by 2

-Using the median is appropriate if there are outliers present because it gets rid of them


MODE

Definition:

-Arrange the data in ascending order
-
The most frequently occurring number in a set of data

-There can be more than one mode

-There can be no mode at all


RANGE
Definition:
-You must arrange the data in ascending order

-Subtract the smallest data from the biggest data

-Range tells you if there are outliers

-The smaller the range, the less chance there is of being outliers present

Here is a video of Mean Median and Mode...


Kevin's Measures of Central Tendency


Mean
  • Arrange in ascending order
  • Add all the data together, then divide the sum by the number of data
  • If there is an outlier in the data, it is not as accurate

Median
  • Arrange in ascending order
  • Find the middle number
  • If there are two middle numbers, add them up and divide them in half
  • It is better to use the median than the mean when there is an outlier, because the median will cross it out

Mode
  • Arrange in ascending order
  • Find the number that occurs most
  • There can be more than one mode
  • There can also be no mode

Range
  • Arrange in numerical order
  • Subtract the smallest data from the largest data
  • If the range is big, it can tell you that there probably is an outlier

Here is a video I found about MMM

Jowella's Measures of Central Tendency


Mean
  • Arrange the data in ascending order.
  • Add up all of the data, and divide the sum by how many set of data there are.
  • With an outlier the mean is a less "average".

Median

  • Arrange the datas in ascending order.
  • find the data that is in the middle.
  • If there are 2 middle numbers, you ave to find the mean of the two datas.
  • The median is great to use if there is an outlier.


Mode

  • Arrange the data in ascending order.
  • Look for the data that shows up the most common.
  • You can have more than one mode.
  • You can have no mode.


Range

  • Arrange the data in ascending order.
  • Subtract the smallest data from the largest data.
  • Large range = outlier.

Here is a video about Mean, Median, Mode, and Range.

  • You can have no mode

Range

  • More accurate then mean if the data has a outlier.
  • Great to use if there is an outlier.
  • Uses all numbers to find the the middle.

  • There can be more then 1 mode.
  • There can be no mode.

Range
  • Arrange in ascending order(optional)
  • Subtract highest number to lowest number.

Courtney's Measure of Central Tendency

Mean
- Arrange in ascending order.
- Add all the numbers.
- Then the number you got divide by.
how many numbers are in the data.
- With an outlier the mean is less accurate "average".

Median - Arrange in ascending order/numerical order.
- Middle number in data.
- Great to use if there is an outlier.
Mode
- Arrange the data in ascending order.
- There can be more then 1 mode.
- The data that appears the most.
- You can have no mode.
Range
- Arrange the data in ascending order.
- Subtract the smallest data from the largest number.
