MEAN
Add all of the numbers in the data set. Divide by the amount of numbers in the set. MEDIAN
Put your numbers in order from least to greatest to find the number in the middle. MODE
Find the number that repeats itself the most. RANGE
The difference between the highest number and the lowest number in the data set. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Reference Sheet
The MEAN is the average.
Find the mean by adding up the numbers and divide by how many there are.
Example: (6 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 4) / 5 = 5.
_____________________________________________________________
The MEDIAN is the number in the middle.
In order to find the median, you have to put the values in order from lowest to
highest, and then find the number that is exactly in the middle:
Example: 80 85 87 90 90 90 100
If there is an even number of values, you find the mean (or average) of the middle
two numbers.
_____________________________________________________________
The MODE is the value that occurs most often.
Example: 7, 10, 9, 15, 9, 7, 16, 9
The mode is 9.
_____________________________________________________________
The RANGE is the difference between the lowest and highest values.
Example: 13, 16, 10, 14, 21
21 (highest value) – 10 (lowest value) = 11
The range is 11. Name: _____________________________

“What a woman makes for every dollar a man makes” is the ratio of female and male annual median earnings for full-time, year-round workers. The “wage gap”
is the additional money a woman would have to make for every dollar made by a man in order to have equal annual earnings. State figures calculated by the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) are based on the 2009-2011 American Community Survey Three-Year Estimates (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/). National
figures calculated by NWLC is based on 2012 Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/)
