How do you calculate the range of a set of scores?

• Add all scores and divide by the total number of scores

• Subtract the lowest score from the highest score

• Find the score that appears most frequently

• Arrange the scores in order and find the middle score

How is the mean calculated when there is an even number of scores?

• By averaging the two middle scores

• By taking the score exactly in the middle

• By choosing the highest of the middle scores

• By subtracting the lowest middle score from the highest

What does the median represent in a set of numbers?

• The most frequently occurring number

• The difference between the highest and lowest numbers

• The average value of the set

• The middle number when the set is arranged in order

If a set of scores has no single middle number, how is the median determined?

• By selecting the higher of the two middle numbers

• By choosing the lower of the two middle numbers

• By finding the mode of the two middle numbers

• By averaging the two middle numbers

What is the mode of a set of numbers?

• The middle number in the set

• The difference between the highest and lowest numbers

• The average of all the numbers

• The number that appears most frequently

Why is it useful to know the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of scores?

• To identify the highest and lowest scores only

• To compare different sets of scores effectively

• To calculate the total sum of all scores

• To determine the complexity of the scores
