Finding the Median of a Group of
Values
Step 1. Orderly arrange values
from the smallest to the largest
Find the median age
42, 35, 87, 23, 50
23, 35, 42, 50, 87
Step 2. Find the middle value
a. Odd number of values:
Median is the middle value.
Divide the total number of
numbers by 2. The next-higher
number is the median.
B. Even number of
values: Median is the average of
the two middle values.
Find the median age
42, 35, 87, 50
35, 42, 50, 87
42 + 50

Mode
The value that occurs most often
If two or more numbers appear most
often, you may have two or more
modes.
If all the values are different, there is
no mode
6, 8, 0, 3, 4, 23, 57, 31, 22, 47,
31, 2, 6, 9, 31
31 is the
mode since it
is listed 3
times

Index Numbers
Price relative =
Current price x 100
Base year’s price
A computer cost $850 today relative to a cost of
$1,300 some 5 years ago. What is the relative price?
$850 x 100 = 65.38 = 65.4
$1,300

Standard Deviation
Intended to measure the spread of data around the mean
Step 6. Find the square root (
) of the number
obtained in Step 5. This is the standard deviation
Step 5. Divide the sum of the squared deviations by n - 1,
where n equals the number of pieces of data
Step 4. Sum all squared deviations
Step 3. Square each deviation (multiply the deviation by itself)
Step 2. Subtract the mean from each piece of data to find
each deviation
Step 1. Find the mean of the set of data
