5.4 Mean, Median and Mode (p. 118-121)

Listen and learn this song from Harcourt called "In a Nutshell"

I.Three measures of central tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
1. Mean: usually called "the average"
- find the mean by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of values
2. Median: the middle number
-find the median by putting the numbers in numerical order and then finding the middle value
3. Mode: the most common number
- find the mode by identifying which number is most common in a set of data. This is easiest if the numbers have been ordered.
