How Do You Calculate Mode, Median, And Range?
In descriptive statistics, the mode, median and range are used to describe certain characteristics of data. The mode is the number that appears most often in a set of data, the median is the number that falls in the middle of the data set, and the range encompasses every number in the set, from smallest to largest. Knowing these kinds of facts about your data can help you make predictions and calculate probabilities. Sort your numbers from least to greatest. For example you might have this set of numbers: [1, 3, 6, 6, 8, 9]. Count the number of appearances for each individual number. In the example, each number appears once, except six, which appears twice. Determine which number appears most frequently. Since six appears twice and nothing appears more than twice, six is the mode. Sort your numbers from least to greatest. For example you might have the set of numbers: [1, 3, 6, 6, 8, 9]. Find the middle number. For example, if you have seven numbers total, then the fourth number of the
