what is a mean, median, mode, and range?

Question

what is the median, range, mode, and mean of 2, 11, 5, and 6?

Answer 1

Mean is the average = sum of values/number of values = 24/4 = 6

First put the value in numerical order: 2, 5, 6, 11.

Median is middle value. Since there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle 2: 5 and 6 = 5.5

Range is highest value - lowest value = 11 - 2 = 9.

Mode is the most often occurring value. If no values occur more than once, there is no mode.

Answer 2

Hi Saronda R.

Range is 11 minus 2 or 9

There is no mode

You can look up the definitions for range, median, mode, and mean in your text or on the internet, then apply them to your numbers accordingly

2,11,5, 6

Secondly I'd also recommend putting your numbers in order from smallest to largest

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values for your numbers 11 minus 2 = 9

Mode is the item that occurs most often in your set of numbers looks like you don't have a mode

Mean is the average; the numerical sum of your numbers divided by the amount of items in your set of numbers. You have 4 numbers that total some number.

Look up the median so you can learn the definition and distinguish it from the mean.

I'll leave the determination of the mean and median to you

If you have any questions please just send a message.

Hope this helps once you learn and apply the definitions they should become easy to apply.
