Mean, median, mode and other oddities
Mean
The mean is a measurement of the average. To get it you add all the numbers up and divide by the amont of data you have e.g
12+5+62+23+11+8+4+12/8
Median
The median is the middle number of a set of numbers e.g.
5, 8, 12, 18, 21, 35, 44, 52, 55 The median is 21.
If there are an even number of results, just add the two middle numbers together and divide by two.
Mode
The mode is the number which occurs the most in a set of data. e.g.
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 6, 5, 5, 8,8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11. 9 is the mode.
Range
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest number. e.g.
2, 5, 7, 8, 8, 13, 14, 17, 22.
22-2=20 the range is 20.
Graphs and data
Data goes in (raw), information is what you get out of the data and is more understandable.
Graphs are used to view the information in an understandable manner.
Tables are used for small amounts of data and are used in written reports
Pie charts only work if you know the total amount of data.
Line graphs are good for show progress (peaks and recesses)
Frequency distribution is used when making observations with different frequencies e.g.
Children per household| Number of families
0 5
1 12
2 17
3 8
