Example Question #4 : How To Find Mean
What is the mean of the values 
The mean of a set of values can be calculated by adding the values together and dividing by the number of values:
Example Question #13 : Data Analysis
Adrienne is trying on dresses for prom. The dresses she likes each cost 
First, add up all of the dress prices:
Then, divide by the number of dresses:
Answer: The average dress price is
Example Question #1721 : Grade 6
Find the mean of the data set provided:
In order to answer this question correctly, we need to recall the definition of mean:
Mean: The mean of a data set is the average of the numbers in a data set.
In order to calculate the mean we must first add up all of the numbers in the data set:
Next, we need to divide by the number of addends, or the number of numbers in the data set:
The mean for this data set is
Example Question #101 : Data Analysis And Probability
Find the mean, rounded to the nearest hundredth, of the data set provided:
In order to answer this question correctly, we need to recall the definition of mean:
Mean: The mean of a data set is the average of the numbers in a data set.
In order to calculate the mean we must first add up all of the numbers in the data set:
Next, we need to divide by the number of addends, or the number of numbers in the data set:
The mean, rounded to the nearest hundredth, for this data set is
Example Question #1724 : Grade 6

Example Question #3 : Median
Give the median of the following eight scores:
Arrange the scores from least to greatest.
There are an even number (eight) of scores, so the median is the arithmetic mean of the middle two scores, 72 and 73. This makes the median
Example Question #4 : Median
Find the median of this set of numbers:
753, 159, 456, 654, 852, 963, 741.
First, order the numbers from least to greatest.
Then, identify the middle number:
Example Question #1 : Find Median
Find the median of this set of numbers:
60, 74, 51, 43, 91,62, 65
First, place the numbers in order from least to greatest:
Then, identify the middle number: 62.
Example Question #2 : Find Median
Give the median of the following nine scores:
Arrange the scores from least to greatest.
There are an odd number (nine) of scores, so the median of the scores is the one that falls in the center - namely, 72.
