Exploring Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

What is the mode of a set of numbers?

• The difference between the highest and lowest numbers

• The number that appears most frequently

• The middle number when sorted

• The average of all numbers

What is the interquartile range?

• The range between the first and third quartiles

• The average of all numbers

• The mode of the dataset

• The median of the dataset

What is the correct order to find the interquartile range?

• Add all numbers together and divide by the total number of numbers

• Subtract the lowest value from the highest value

• Find the mode, then the mean, then the median

• Sort the data, find the median, then find the medians of the two halves
