• How many squares are there on a
checkerboard? Recall that there are 8
squares on each side.
• Hint: There are more than 64 squares.
Definition
Mean
The mean of a numerical data set is the sum of the data divided by
the number of data values. The symbol —x represents the mean. It
is read as “x-bar.”
Median
The median of a numerical data set is the middle number when the
values are written in numerical order. When a data set has an even
number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values.
Mode
The mode of a data set is the value or values that occur most often.
There may be one mode, no mode, or more than one mode.
Mean

average of the
numbers in the

What is the MEAN?
How do we find it?
The mean is the numerical average
of the data set.
The mean is found by adding all the
values in the set, then dividing the
sum by the number of values.

What is the MEDIAN?
How do we find it?
The MEDIAN is the number that is in the
middle of a set of data
1. Arrange the numbers in the set in
order from least to greatest.
2. Then find the number that is in the
middle.

MEDIUM
Think middle when you hear median.
How do we find
the MEDIAN
when two numbers are in the middle?
1. Add the two numbers.
2. Then divide by 2.

What is the MODE?
How do we find it?
The MODE is the piece of data that
occurs most frequently in the data set.
A set of data can have:
 One mode
 More than one mode
 No mode

The value 97 appears twice.
All other numbers appear just once.

Bellwork
An amusement park hires students for the summer. The students’ hourly wages
are shown in the table.
a. Find the mean, median, and mode of the hourly wages.
b. Which measure of center best represents the data? Explain.
Outlier
Find the standard deviation of the ages. Use a table to
organize your work. Interpret your result.
In Exercises 19–22, find (a) the range and
(b) the standard deviation of the data set.

find (a) the range and (b) the standard
deviation of the data set.

Outlier
• An outlier is a data value that is much
greater than or much less than the other
values in a data set.
• Should we include outliner in the data?
Yes

Effects of Data Transformations
A data transformation is a procedure that uses a
mathematical operation to change a data set into a different
data set.
Consider the data in Example. (a) Find the mean, median, mode,
range, and standard deviation when each hourly wage increases by
$0.50. (b) Find the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation
when each hourly wage increases by 10%.
