Measures Of

Find the mode:
5, 0, 9, 9, 3, 0, 5, 5, 4

• 9

• 5

• 3

• 7

Find the median:
5, 6, 3, 9, 0, 4, 1, 2, 7

• 4

• 4.1

• 5

• 4.5

When finding the median, what do you do if there are two middle numbers?

• Add them together and divide by 2

• Write them both as the answer

• Give up

• Pick one

Find the median:
3, 5, 7, 4, 3, 1

• 3 and 4

• There isn't one

• 3.5

• 3

Isiah collects data from two different companies, each with four employees. The results of the study, based on each worker's age and salary, are listed in the tables above. Which statement is true about these data?

• The median salaries in both companies are greater than $37,000

• The mean salary in company 1 is greater than the mean salary in company 2

• The salary range in company 2 is greater than the salary range in company 1

• The mean age of workers at company 1 is greater than the mean age of workers at company 2
