Mean, Median, Mode Worksheet

                    Lesson 1

 

                                                            Problem:                   Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the set of data.

                                                                                                Data Set: 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 8

Solution                    Mean = (Total of all observations)/ No of Observations.

Step 1:                        So the mean = (3+4+5+4+6+8)/6 = 5

                             

                                                                                Solution                    Median is value of observation that divides the data distribution into two

Step 2:                        equal parts i.e. half of observations i.e. half of observations are above it and

half of observations are below it. If the number of observation is even

then median is average of n/2 and n/2+1.

 

So the median is 3+4/2= 3.5                               

                                                            Solution                     Mode is that value which occurs most often i.e. 4

Step 3:                        

          

                                                            Solution                    The answer is: Mean = 5    Median = 3.5                         Mode = 4  

                                                            Step 4:
