The difference between the highest and the lowest numbers in a set of numbers.
HOW TO FIND THE RANGE:
Subtract the lowest number from the biggest and you get the range!
FIND THE RANGE
ex. 3,6,3,7,9
9-3=6 6 IS THE RANGE
MEAN DEFINITION:
average of all the numbers
HOW TO FIND THE MEAN
found by dividing the sum of the numbers by the amount of numbers added.
FIND THE MEAN
ex. 3,6,3,7,9
3+6+3+7+9=28
28 divided by 5=5.6 5.6 is your mean
MEDIAN DEFINITION:
The number directly in the middle
HOW TO FIND THE MEDIAN:
List all numbers in order from least to greatest.
You count over to the middle. If there are two numbers in the middle, add them and divide by two.
FIND THE MEDIAN
EX. 3,6,3,7,9
3,3,6,7,9 The middle number is 6. 6 is your median.
MODE DEFINITION:
The mode is the number that you see more than any other number.
The number or numbers that occur most often in a set of numbers.
EX. 3,6,3,7,9
the number that occurs the most is 3. 3 is your mode.
DEFINITION OF OUTLIER:
In statistics, an outlieR is an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data. Basically the number that seems to be way off from the other numbers.
EX: 3,6,5,85
The outlier would be 85
