Year 7 Maths - Data - Mean, Mode - Median - Answers (Ch3 Ex3)

This document provides examples of calculating the mean, mode, and median of various data sets. It defines each statistical measurement and shows how to find the mean by adding all values and dividing by the number of values. The mode is the most frequently occurring value, and the median is the middle number when values are ordered from lowest to highest. Adding outliers can increase the mean but does not change the mode or median. Worked examples demonstrate how to find the missing values to satisfy the given mean, median, and mode.
