Find How To Find Median And Mode in Q&A

How do I find the mean, median, mode, and range of a circle graph? I'm working on a math project, and it's confusing me. Let's say I have a circle graph for "percentage of kids wanting to go a certain middle school". A certain number of kids out of 30 kids surveyed like a certain middle school. For school A: there are 10 kids. School B: 3. School C: 5, School D: 5, School E: 1, School F: 1, School G: 1, School H: 4 kids. How do I find mean, median, mode, range of these? Is it even possible to do that?

dualspace replied: "By "circle graph" do you mean "pie chart"? The mean is the average, the median is the midpoint, the mode is the most occurring value -- yes you can do this provided you have the underlying data. This is easy to do when the values are numbers, not sure how to do this when the values are middle schools! Given the data in your question, this is what I can say so far: School A = preferred by 33% School B = preferred by 17% School C = preferred by 17% School H = preferred by 13% School E = preferred by 3% School F = preferred by 3% School G = preferred by 3% The mode would be SCHOOL A, since that was the answer that was selected the most. I'm really not sure how to tackle median and mean here. Sorry."

Murdok replied: "mean = average(The numbers added together and divided by the amount of the numbers. median = middle number mode = The number being shown the most. Range = The actual range which would be the largest number subtracted by the smallest number."

Jess3e replied: "the first two people who posted the answer is very well said... I'm not sure if I'm right, but I think the mode would 5 and 1 since these numbers occur frequently... if I'm wrong you can ignore this part. I think the range is the difference between the highest and lowest number out of your data. I'll let you do the rest of your work. Here I am taking break from doing my homework, and one of my questions is related to that... funny... what a coincidence"

SOS How do I use a graphing calculator to find out the mean, median, and mode? I have a graphing calculator TI-83 Plus and I really want to know how to find the mean, median, and mode. I have no idea how to get to it. Please help. Steps, instructions will be very helpful to me. Please and thank you very much!

ange replied: "If you have a list then click this link and follow the instructions: Even though it says that it's for TI84 it works for TI83 as well."

How do you find the mean, median, and mode? How do you find the mean of a set of data? Could you give step by step? How do you find the median of a set of data? Could you give me step by step? How do you find the mode of a set of data? Could you give me step by step? If it isn't to much trouble could you even give me examples? Thanks, it would help me alot.

King M replied: "Mean or average is easy. Take all the numbers and add them up, divide the total by the number of numbers in the data. 3+3+3= 9/3 = 3. 3 is the mean To find the median put all the numbers in numerical order and find the number in the middle. If its to then divide. 1 3 (6) 8 4 The mode is just the number that appears the most. 6 3 6 6 3 6 6 6 is the mode"

llaffer replied: "I'll use the sample set: 1, 1, 4, 6, 7 to answer this question. The mean is the average of the numbers. Add up the values and divide by the number of data points: (1 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 7) / 5 (19)/5 3.8 The median is the 50th percentile of the data set. Or, the point where 50% of the other values are greater than it, and 50% of the other values are less than it. In 5 data points, when sorted from low to high, the 3rd point is always the median. This leaves 2 points less than it and 2 points greater than it. So in this case, it's 4. The mode(s) is(are) the value of the data point(s) that occur most often. Notice how I worded that. It means that there could be more than one. In my data example above, there is only one. 1. since it occurs twice, and no other data point does. But in this example: 2, 2, 5, 7, 7 There are 2 modes, 2 and 7. Each occurr twice. If there are no duplication in data: 1, 4, 6, 8, 10 There there are no modes."

hawt(erthanyou) replied: "mean = ad all the numbers together in a set of data, and then divide it by how many numbers there are median = put all the numbers in the set of data in numerical order from least to greatest. then find the number thats in the middle. if theres an even number of numbers, add the two numbers in the middle together and divide it by 2 mode = the number that shows up most often example: 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 mean = 3,1 median = 1.5 mode = 1"

Taylor replied: "For the mean, add everything up and divide by the number of items. 6+2+3=11. 11 divided by 3 = 3 and two thirds. For the median, line up all of your data from least to greatest and it's the middle number. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Six would be the median. Mode is the number that shows up the most often. 2 4 4 6 9 9 9 10. Nine would be the mode."

Eddie replied: "For the mean ( average ) you add up all the numbers of the set of data, and then divide the sum by the amount of numbers you used. For the median you put the numbers in order and then find the middle number. For mode you find the number that was used the most. Example: 2,7,4,6,3,5,3,1,7,7,7 Mean: 2 + 7 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 52 52 / 11 = 4.72 Mean = 4.72 Median: 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,7,7,7,7 Median = 5 Mode = 7"

Squad 8 replied: "Median is another word for middle. So you want to line the numbers in order from smallest to largest and then find the middle number. For Example: Say you have the numbers, 2 1 5 3 4. You will line the um in order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) then find the middle number. Which in this case is 3. Mean is another word for average. You add up all your numbers and divide them by the number or numbers you have. For example, once again say you have the numbers , 2 1 5 3 4. You add them up (2+1+5+3+4 =15) and you divide by how many numbers you have (5) so 15/5=3. Mode is another word for what appears the most. You line up you numbers in order and see which number occurs the most. For example , 1 3 2 4 2. You line them up (1, 2, 2, 3, 4) and see which occurs the most, In this case its 2. I hope I helped. :)"

Jamalus H replied: "if you have a set of numbers for example 1,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,7,7,8,9 the mean would be to add all these numbers (the sum) and then divide by the total number of numbers which would be 12. Median is by arranging the set of numbers in increasing/ decreasing order and finding the middle number. For an even amount of numbers like this one, you would get its exact middle number (number 6 =5 and its next number number 7 =6) and then get their average. For an odd set of numbers, you would add one to the number of numbers and then divide by 2 to find your median ex: 1,2,2,3,5 total number of numbers : 5 median : 5+1/2 = 3 (so third number in set) which is 2. The mode is the number that appears the most in a set of numbers. in this set, it would be 7. You just gotta scan the set and find it"

When should i use mean, median, mode, range, to find the avergae? I know mean is used when there are no outliers Median is used when there is outliers\ whens mode and range used

tkmckenzie replied: "The mean is the average, median, mode, and range give information on what the group of data is like, but if you want average, you'll be taking the mean"

Dee W replied: "mean for average mode and range are rarely used"

Anna P replied: "The mean IS the average. Median and mode give different information--for instance you can tell if the bell curve is skewed left or right by looking at all three numbers."

Brian replied: "well you basically answered your own question i only take hs stats so i might not be entirely correct here: for a normal model, you would basically use the mean, for a unimodal model the data set was uniform or symmetric for a bimodal model it depends. (sorry couldn't help on this one) and whenever a unimodal model is skewed in either direction you use the median the range i don't think you would ever use for average since..well it doesn't represent any average"

find the mean median mode range of each data set? 1. 0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2 2. 0,0,0,0,0,1,1,3,5,8,10,12 3. 24,25,25,26,29,30,30,32,35,35 4. 3,5,7,7,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,9,10,10 please find the mean median mode range for each of them thank you!

Is there a formula to find out median if mode and mean are only given? I saw a question in the CBSE books like this one The mean of a group of numbers is 15 and the mode is 16 Find the Median No othet data is given Is there a way to exactly get the median or is it a estimated median (althoughI have never across this term estimated median)

carrie5260 replied: "This is the only data you were given?? "The mean = 15, and the mode = 16". I don't know how you can tell anything without a list of scores? My understanding is that the mean is the mathematical average, in other words the sum of the scores divided by the number of scores. The median is the middle entry (in an odd # of scores), or if there is an even number of scores the median is equal to the sum of the middle two scores divided by two. The scores must be listed in increasing order before looking for the "middle" entries. The mode is simply the score that appears most frequently.This figure doesn't tell you how frequently it appears. Good Luck !!"

dualflygon replied: "It is impossible However, if there are no negative values, and your mode is taken as x, and the mean is less then x, and the mean is more then half of the mode or less then double of the mode, then the median=mode example: lets say you have a sequence 1,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9 median=9 mean=159/27=more then 4.5 mode=9 proof: if there are more then half of the mode value in the sequence, the median will be the mode....(I dont have to prove this, its very obvious) the rest of the proof is rather long and i do not want to prove it the answer to your question is 16"

ted a replied: "actually there probably is a way but for it to work you would also have to know how many numbers are in the set. the result would be an educated guess, ya estimated median. say the mode of 4 numbers is 13 and the mean is 16. well the median would have to be anywhere between 13 and 16 obviously. just use logical reasoning to figure it out."

How do i find the mean median mode and range? of a stem and leaf plot? please explane it as easily as you can! i've had 3 people try to explane it to me and i just can't get it 10 pts to 1st explaner

James P replied: "Range = Highest value - lowest value. Mod = The longest 'leaf' (i.e the most ocuring class) Median = The total number of values / 2 Mean = Sum of all values / number of values."

Can you find the mean, median, mode, and range? Use the set of numbers below to figure out the mean, median, mode, and range: 6 12 23 12 4 17 5 9 First one to figure it out gets best answer.(you can use the calculator if needed)

K replied: "mean: 11 median: 9 or 6, they're tied in the middle - do you average them then? cuz that would be 7.5 mode: 12 range: 19"

pioneers replied: "mean = ( 6 + 12 + 23 + 12 + 4 + 17 + 5 + 9 ) / 8 = ................. 4 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 12 , 17 , 23 .................. median = ( 9 + 12 ) / 2 = 10.5 mode = 12 range = 23 - 4 = 19"

-x-CleverrGall-x- replied: "Mode: 12 Range: 19 Mean: 11 Median: 7.5"

to find the sum mode or median of a total when doing calculations? i need to work out some calculations and then to add a total column and then to do the sum, mode or median of the total in the column.

cutiekate replied: "that makes no Sense"

Mariah C replied: "i have this exam next week. to find the mode check the number on the first column that has the highest frequency. to find the mean do: multiply the first column with the frequency column then add up all your number in you freq column and add up all your number on the column you got your (1st column times freq) then divide the (total of your 1st column x freq) with the total of your frequency. (i might not make sense but i tried my best) bye"

Sarah T replied: "To find the sum, just add up all the numbers. To find the mode, make a tally of how often each number appears in the data. the one that appears most is the mode. To find the median, count how many numbers you have and find the middle of that number (not half). For example: If you have four numbers represented by A, B, C, and D ... Sum: A+B+C+D Mode: A occurs once B occurs three times C occurs twice D occurs four times D is the mode because it occurs the most. Median: You have four numbers. They occur a total of ten times. Half of ten is five, but you do not want five. the easiest way to find the midpoint is to add one to the number (ten) and take half of that. Ten and one are eleven, and half of eleven is five and one half. Therefore, the median is five and one half."
