The video tutorial explains measures of center, including mean, median, mode, and range. It details how to calculate each measure using a data set, emphasizing the mean as the average, the median as the middle value, the mode as the most frequent value, and the range as the difference between the highest and lowest values. Visual aids like number lines and dot plots are used to enhance understanding.

What is the first step in calculating the mean of a data set?

• Sum all the numbers in the data set

• List the data set from greatest to least

• Identify the mode of the data set

• Find the median of the data set

Which measure of center is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values?

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

• Range

How is the median determined when there are two middle numbers in a data set?

• Choose the larger of the two numbers

• Choose the smaller of the two numbers

• Calculate the mean of the two numbers

• Ignore both numbers

Which of the following statements about the mode is true?

• The mode is always the smallest number

• The mode is always the center of the data

• A data set can have more than one mode

• The mode is the average of the data set

If a data set has no repeating numbers, what is the mode?

• There is no mode

• The largest number

• The average of all numbers

• The smallest number

What does the range of a data set represent?

• The sum of all values

• The average of the data set

• The most frequently occurring value

• The difference between the greatest and least values

Which measure of center is least likely to represent the middle of the data?

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

• Range
