 Introduction
 Using statistics is a helpful way to
study different situations. Today I
will demonstrate how to find the
mean, median, and mode of a set
of numbers.

 Topics of Discussion
 The mean (or average) is found by
taking the sum of the numbers and
then dividing by how many
numbers you added together.
 The number that occurs most
frequently is the mode.
 When the numbers are arranged in
numerical order, the middle one is
the mean.

 Topic One
 The mean (or average) is found by
adding all the numbers and then
dividing by how many numbers you
added together.
 Example: 3,4,5,6,7
 3+4+5+6+7= 25
 25 divided by 5 = 5
 The mean is 5.

 Topic Two
 The number that occurs most
frequently is the mode.
 Example: 2,2,2,4,5,6,7,7,7,7,8
 The number that occurs most
frequently is 7.
 The mode is 7.

 Topic Three
 When numbers are arranged in
numerical order, the middle one is
the median.
 Example: 3,6,2,5,7
 Arranged in order: 2,3,5,6,7
 The number in the middle is 5.
 The median is 5.

 Find the mean of the
following set of grades:
 Lowest
 55
 First add all the  60
grades together.  75
 The total equals  80
1061.  80
 80
 Now divide 1061  83
by 13 (total  83
grades)  93
 The answer is  93
81.61.  93
 93
 The mean is  93
81.61.  Highest

 Find the median of the
following numbers:
 Lowest
 55
 The median is the  60
number in the  75
middle of  80
numbers which  80
are in order from  80
least to greatest.  83
 If we count from  83
both sides, the  93
number in the  93
middle is 83.  93
 93
 The median is 83.
 93
 Highest

 Find the mode of the
following grades:
 Lowest
 The mode is the  55
number which  60
occurs most  75
often.  80
 80
 The number
 80
which occurs  83
most often is 93.  83
 The mode is 93.  93
 93
 93
 93
 93
 Highest

 Real Life
 If these were your math grades, what
would you learn by analyzing them?
 The mean was 81.61. In order to raise
your grades, you would have to make
higher than an 81.61 on the rest of your
assignments.
 The mode was 93 which was your highest
grade. You could look at these papers to
see why you made this grade the most.
 The median is 83. This means that most
of your grades were higher than your
average. Now you can find your weak
area and try to improve.

 Real Life
 Real Life
 Knowing the mean, median, and mode
will help you better understand the scores
on your report card. By analyzing the
data (grades) you can find your average,
the grade you received most often, and
the grade in the middle of your subject
area.
 Better understanding your grades may
lead to better study habits.
