Notes for June 6, 2011

Measures of Central Tendency
- a value that represents the center of the data set.
- can be mean, median, or mode

Data set - is a group of numbers that you must arrange in order from least to greatest.

data set- 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 5, 34, 3
arrange- 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 34

Median- the middle number in a set of data after the data have been arranged in order.


Mode- the most frequently occuring number in a set of data.


Mean- the sum of a set of values divided by the number of values in the set.
.



Range- the positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.


Outlier- a value that is much larger or smaller than the other data value


Practice
Find the mean, median, mode, range and outliers
  1. 45, 2, 48, 40, 45
  2. 14, 15, 18, 98,
  3. 100, 45, 110, 100, 150
