11-5 Measures of Central Tendency and Variation
Find the mean, median, and mode of each data set.
1. { 3, 10, 2, 8, 7, 5, 2, 5 }
a. The mean is the sum of the values in a set divided
by the number of values. Find the mean of the set.
5.25
b. The median is the middle value when the set is
ordered numerically. Find the median of the set.
5
c. The mode is the value or values that occur most
often. Find the mode of the set.
2, 5
2. { 11, 15, 4, 10, 7, 5, 11, 9 }
