Measures of Central Tendency
-A value that represents the center of a data set
-Can be the mean,median, or mode
-data set is a group of numbers that must arrange in order from least to greatest
Eg: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 5, 34, 3
2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 34
Median- the middle number in a set of data
after the data have been arranged in order
Median of 2 5, 6, 8, 9 is 6
Median of 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 is 7 because if you have 2 numbers in the middle add them up the divide by 2. So 6+8=14/2=7
Solution: Odd = don't add
Even=add
Mode-the most frequently occurring number in a set of data
-mode and most both have 4 letters
-mode of 3, 5, 7, 7, 9 is 7
-mode of 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 8, 11 is 2 and 6
-mode of 1, 2, 3, 5 is no mode
-mode of 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 is no mode
-mode of 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 is 1, 2 and 3
Mean-a measure of central tendency
the sum of a set of values divided by the number of values in the set
-mean of 6, 4, 8 is 6 because you add them all together then divided by how much numbers there is. So 6+4+8=18/3=6
Range- the positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set
-Range of 4, 8, 5, 6, 9, 1, 3, 5, 8, 6, is 9-1=8
Outliers- a value that is much larger or smaller then the other data value
-the data set may have more than 1 outliers or zero outliers
Outliers are 1, 67, 68, 67, 64, 65, 100
