So… Most Common
• If we know:
• The Mode = Most Common
• What is the mode average of the following numbers?
2, 6, 4, 2, 5, 8, 7, 4, 2, 6, 3, 2, 2, 3
Lesson 10: Averages.

So… Median = Middle
• You need to put the numbers in order; from
the lowest to the highest
• And find the
halfway point:
2, 6, 4, 2, 5, 8, 7, 4, 2, 6, 3, 2, 2, 3

The
Mean
• Think of a mean old man counting out his
money!
• He adds all of the values together and divides
the total by the number of values he has.
Lesson 10: Averages.

So… calculation of the mean
• Add together the numbers:
2+6+4+2+5+8+7+4+2+6+3+2+2+3
=?
And divide by the total by the number of values
you have
56

The
Range
• Take the highest value and subtract the lowest
value:
2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8
Answer: 8 – 2 = 6
