Mean

As you have read before, Mean is the average number, or the number that is used the most, here are some examples on how to use Mean: Lets say you have some numbers 4, 12, 2, 1, 9, 7, 5, You would add all the numbers together, then you divide by the total of the number of numbers used.

How do you figure out the mean of a group of numbers?

• Add all numbers together, then divide by the total count of numbers.
• Subtract the largest number from the smallest number
• Multiply all numbers together
• Divide the total count of numbers by the sum of all numbers

Mode and Median

Median is the middle number, for example: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9; the median would be 5.

Median

Mode is the most numbers used, for example: 1,2,3,5,6,6,7; the mode would be 6.
