Determine the mean, median,mode and midrange of the set of data?

Question

Where appropriate, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

 

4,6,10,12,10,9,365,40,37,8

Answer 1

Mean is an average. Add all the numbers together to find the sum. Then divide the sum by the number of numbers.

In this case there are 10 numbers. Add them and divide by 10.

 

Median is a middle number. You can remember that because the median is in the middle of the road. Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest. Find the middle number if there are an odd number. If there are an even numbers (as in your question), add the 2 numbers in the middle and divide by 2.

 

Mode is the number in a set of numbers that occurs most often.

 

Midrange is found by putting the numbers in order from smallest to largest. Add the smallest and largest numbers together to find the sum. Divide the sum by 2.

 

These steps can be used to find mean, median, mode, and midrange of any set of numbers that you are given.

 

I hope this was helpful.

 

Answer 2

The mean is defined as the sum of all values divided by the number of observations. The median is the number in the middle of the range of numbers or the 50th percentile. The mode is the number that occurs most frequently. The midrange is the smallest value plus the largest value divided by 2.

 

mean     50.1
median  10.0
mode     10.0
max     365.0
min         4.0
midrange 16.8
