MEAN/MEDIAN/MODE/RANGE #1

Directions: Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range for each set of numbers below. To find the mean of a set
of numbers, add all of the data together, then divide that sum by the amount of numbers in the set. To find the
median, list the numbers from least to greatest and select the middle value. The mode is the number that appears
most often in the set. There could be more than one mode, or there could be no mode. To find the range, take the
largest value in the set minus the smallest value.

Example: Here are the numbers in the set (2, 2, 8, 10, 8)

Mean = (2 + 2 + 8 + 10 + 8) / 5 = 30/5 = 6 Median = (2,2,8,8,10) = 8

Mode = 2 and 8 Range = 10 – 2 = 8

EXTENSION: What would happen to the mean if you added “10” to each set? Would the mean increase or
decrease? Would it increase/decrease for each set?
If you add 10 to each set the mean would increase for each set. For example, if you add the number 10 to
the first set the mean would increase to 5.83 after adding 10. I calculated this by adding 10 to the original
sums and then dividing the number 1 more than before. For example, if it was being divided by 7 before I
would divide it by 8.
