Mean-Median-Mode-And-Range Powerpoint

To calculate measures of central tendency for data sets, you add up all the values, count how many there are, and divide or order the numbers. The mean is the average found by adding all values and dividing by the count. The median is the middle number when values are ordered. The mode is the most frequent value. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values.

What averages can you think of?

What is the range?


Range
The range is the difference between the
smallest and biggest numbers in a set of data.
Jade scored these results in the last 10 starters in her maths lesson:

3, 7, 1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2, 5, 6

Biggest number Smallest number

So the difference between 1 and 7 is 6

Range = 6
The number of sandwiches sold in the canteen each day:

2, 5, 3, 1, 6, 7, 3

Smallest number Biggest number

So the difference between 1 and 7 is 6

Range = 6
Mode
The mode is the number that occurs most frequently.
Scores in a maths test:

10, 11, 9, 13, 12, 8, 10, 7, 9, 11, 10, 10

Which score is there the most?

Mode = 10
These are the ages of 15 people who go to an
afterschool club, what is the mode?

8, 6, 3, 7, 8, 5, 10, 7, 10, 8, 5, 11, 6, 4, 7

Which score is the most frequent?

Mode = 7 and 8
Median
The median is the middle value of a set of numbers
once the data has been ordered.

Gill takes 11 tests over a term. Here are his scores:

4, 8, 9, 3, 2, 10, 7, 8, 5, 9, 6

Put the scores in order

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10

Middle value Median = 7


Our football team scored these goals in their last matches:

4, 7, 0, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 5, 6

Put the numbers in order

0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7

Two middle values Median = 3

When we have 2 numbers in the middle we add them up and


divide by 2 to find the median:
2+4=6÷2=3
Mean
To find the mean value of a set of data you add up all
the numbers then divide by however many numbers
there are.
Cakes sold each day:
4, 5, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 1, 2,
Firstly, add up the numbers
4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 30
Then
30 ÷ 10 (there are 10 numbers!) =3
Mean = 3
This data shows the ages of children who belong to a chess club:

10, 11, 9, 13, 12, 8, 10, 7, 9, 11, 10, 10

Add up the numbers

10 + 11 + 9 + 13 + 12 + 8 + 10 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 10 + 10

= 120
Then

120 ÷ 12 (there are 12 numbers!) =10

Mean = 10
