How do you get the mode median and the mean?

Answer 1

Mode This is the number appearing the most in a group of numbers. If there are two modes, the group of numbers is said to be bimodal. (The "Bi" part in Bimodal means two.)

- A way to remember this is that the mode is "most often". Mode has four letters and so does most, and the first two letters are M-O.

MedianThis is the middle number in a rank of numbers. To find the median, you list the numbers in order from least to greatest then select the number in the middle of the list. (E.G. Cross out a pair of numbers at a time, one each from the beginning and end of the list. Like this: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: The median is 7.) If there are two middle numbers, you take the two, add them together, then divide by two to get the median.

- A way to remember this that the Median is middle and both words have six letters, and the first three letters are M-I-D.

MeanThis is commonly called the average. (Technically though, the Mean the Median and the Mode are all types of averages.)

To find the mean, add all of the numbers together, then divide the total by the amount of numbers being averaged.
