Understanding Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

What are mean, median, and mode examples of?

• Geometric shapes

• Measurement units

• Types of graphs

• Measures of central tendency

What does the range of a set of data represent?

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

• The most common value

• The middle value

• The average value

How do you find the mean of a data set?

• By finding the middle value

• By identifying the most common value

• By dividing the total sum by the total amount of numbers

• By subtracting the smallest value from the largest value

What is the median of a data set?

• The most common value

• The numerical average

• The middle value

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

What is true about the mode of a data set?

• It is always the smallest value

• It is the numerical average

• It is the difference between the highest and lowest values

• It is the most common number

What should you do before finding the mean, median, mode, and range?

• Divide each value by 2

• Add 10 to each value

• Arrange the values in ascending or descending order

• Multiply all the values

If a data set has an even number of values, how do you find the median?

• There is no median for even number of values

• Choose the largest of the two middle values

• Choose the smallest of the two middle values

• Find the average of the two middle numbers

What does it mean if a data set has no mode?

• All values are different

• There is only one value

• No values repeat

• All values are the same

How do you find the range of a data set?

• Add the highest and lowest values

• Divide the total sum by the number of values

• Subtract the median from the mean

• Subtract the smallest value from the largest value

Is it possible for a data set to have more than one mode?

• Yes, but only if all values are the same

• No, there can only be one mode

• No, a data set cannot have a mode

• Yes, if there are multiple values that repeat
