Find Mean, Median, Mode & Range


1. Mean


Q: Find the mean of the numbers: 8, 12, 10, 15, 5


Soln:
First, add all the numbers:
8 + 12 + 10 + 15 + 5 = 50


Then, count the total number of values:
n = 5


Now find the mean:
Mean = 50 ÷ 5 = 10


Ans: 10


2. Median


Q: Find the median of: 7, 2, 9, 5, 1


Soln:
First, arrange the numbers in ascending order: 1, 2, 5, 7, 9


Now find the middle number: Median = 5


Ans: 5


3. Mode


Q: Find the mode of: 4, 6, 2, 6, 8, 6, 5


Soln:
Count frequency of each number:
2 → 1 time
4 → 1 time
5 → 1 time
6 → 3 times
8 → 1 time


The number occurring most frequently is 6.


Ans: 6


4. Range


Q: Find the range of: 14, 18, 9, 22, 11


Soln:
First, find the greatest number: 22
Then, find the smallest number: 9


Now subtract: Range = 22 − 9 = 13


Ans: 13
