Find the mean, the median and the mode of .
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
The mean is the total divided by how many values there are. Total = mean count. The median is the middle value of the sorted list. With an even number of values, it is halfway between the two middle ones. The mode is the value that appears most often. It works for words too.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Sort. .
Step 2. Mean. .
Step 3. Median. Nine values, so the fifth one: .
Step 4. Mode. appears three times, more than any other value.
Answer: mean , median , mode .
