Data Analysis and Probability
Median
– To find the median, order the numbers
from the least value to the greatest
value. The median is the number that
is in the middle of a set. If the set has an
even number of numbers, average the two.
– Example: 10, 12, 14, 15, 15
– The median (middle number) of this
set is 14.
Data Analysis and Probability
Median
If the set has an even number of numbers,
find the two middle numbers. Add those
numbers and then divide by 2.
• Example: 3, 4, 6, 9
The two middle numbers are 4 and 6.
• Add them: 4 + 6 = 10
Divide by 2: 10 ÷ 2 = 5
The median of this set is 5.
Data Analysis and Probability
Mode
Mode is the number that appears
most often in a set.
Example: 14, 15, 15, 10, 12
To find the mode, look for the number
that appears the most. The mode
of this set of numbers is 15.
