Answer:
For example, if you wish to find the average grade on a test for your class but one student fell asleep and scored a 0, the mean would show a much lower average because of one low grade, while the median would show how the middle group of students scored.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
mean: (add all numbers given together, and divide by amount there is) eg:
3, 4, 8, 7
3+4+8+7= 22
22 ÷ 4= 5.5
median: (order the numbers, smallest to largest, find the middle number) eg:
2, 4, 6, 6, 9, 8, 3
2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 8, 9
eliminate each number, left to right
3, 4, 6, 6, 8
4, 6, 6
6 is the median. if there was no exact middle number then it would look like this:
3, 4, 6, 7, 8
4, 6, 7, 8
6,7 - in between 6 and 7 is 6.5, so median is 6.5
mode: (number that is most frequently used) eg:
3, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 7, 7, 8, 7
the number that is most used it 7, so 7 is the mode
