  • the sum of all data divided by the number of data.

  • with an oulier the mean is less accurate




Median



  • arrange the data in ascending order.

  • find the middle number

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

  • great to use if theres no outlier.
Mode



  • arrange the data in ascending order.

  • find the data that occurs the most in the set of data.

  • you can have more than one mode.

  • you can have no mode.
