Topic guide
How to approach statistics & mean/median/mode
Mean, median, mode, and range describe a data set in different ways. Mean balances all values, median marks the center, mode identifies frequency, and range measures spread.
Sort the data before finding median or mode. Choose a statistic based on the question and note that outliers affect the mean more strongly than the median.
Learning objectives
- Calculate mean, median, mode, and range
- Select an appropriate measure of center
- Describe the effect of outliers
Skills to review first
- Addition and division
- Ordering numbers
- Reading data lists
Worked example
Follow the reasoning step by step
Analyze 2, 4, 4, 7, 8.
- The data are already ordered.
- Mean: (2 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 8) ÷ 5 = 5.
- Median is the middle value, 4; mode is the repeated value, 4.
- Range: 8 − 2 = 6.
Solution: Mean 5, median 4, mode 4, range 6.
