in math what is the mean median mode and range stand for?

Question

how do you find the mean

Answer 1

Mean: average (add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are.
ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (5 numbers in total)
1+2+3+4+5=15
15/5=3)
Mode: the number that is most repetitive
Median: the middle number when all the numbers are in order
Range: difference between the largest and smallest number

Answer 2

These are statistical terms.

The mean is commonly called the average and you get it by adding all of the like values and divide the sum by the number of values you added. You have three children: ages 3, 5, and 10. The total of their ages is 18, the average or mean age of your children would be 6.

The median is the one in the middle. The median age of your children is 5.

The range is the high and low for the numbers in your set. The range for the ages of your children is 3-10.

The mode, meanwhile, is the most frequent value. If the ages of all the children on your block or neighborhood were compared and there were more 5 year-olds than any other age, then it gets this label. The mode has value when comparing the groups for patterns.

Good luck with them.

Answer 3

Given a set of values x1,x2,...,xn:

The mean is the average value, (x1+x2+...+xn)/n.

The median is the number M such that half of the values are less than M, and half are greater. If there are an even number of values, then M is the average of the middle two values. For example, the median of 1,2,3,4,5,6 is (3+4)/2 = 3.5, but the median of 1,2,3,4,5 is 3.

The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in the set of values. A set can have more than one mode. For example, the modes of 1,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6 are 3 and 6.

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values.

Answer 4

The Mean:
To find the mean, you
need to add up all the
data, and then divide
this total by the number
of values in the data.

The Median:
To find the median, you
need to put the values
in order, then find the
middle value. If there are
two values in the middle
then you find the mean
of these two values.

The Mode:
The mode is the value
which appears the most
often in the data. It is
possible to have more
than one mode if there
is more than one value
which appears the most.

The Range:
To find the range, you
first need to find the
lowest and highest values
in the data. The range is
found by subtracting the
lowest value from the
highest value.

Answer 5

Mean-- add up all the numbers, then divide that answer by the number of numbers you added together. ex: 3+5+7= 15 then 15/3 = 5. So 5 is the mean.

Median-- list all the numbers from least to greatest, the # in the middle is the median

Mode-- don't remember

Range-- don't remember

Answer 6

Mean: the average of all the numbers
Mode: The number that appears the most
Median: The middle number when all the numbers are put in order, if there is no one middle number add then divide the two middle numbers
range:the difference between the smallest and largest numbers

Answer 7

Mean
The average of a group of numbers is called the mean.

Median
The middle number of the group is called the median.

Mode
The number that appears the most often in a listing of number.
Range
The range is the difference between the least number and the greatest number.

Answer 8

mean- average median- middle number mode- most occuring number range- highest # minus lowest # (i think)

Answer 9

what everyone else said is good
