MEAN:

The sum of the data, divided by the number of data items.

EX: 81 + 77 + 92 + 89 = 339

339 � 4 = 84.75

The mean of  81, 77, 92, and 89 is 84.75

MEDIAN:


The middle number in a set of ordered data.

4, 7, 9, 13, 25

9 is in the middle, so 9 is the Median!

MODE:

The data item that appears most often.

EX: 5, 7, 7, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13, 15

7 is the Mode because it appears the most often.

** If all data items appear the same number of times, there is no mode. **
