Note from the author:
Created as a warm-up to a lesson we will be starting on box plots. This is a review or mini lesson on Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
1

True or False. If you saw a question on a test asking you to calculate mean, median, mode, and range for a set of data (numbers) you would confidently be able to complete the problem.

How well do you know mean, median, mode, and range?
Match the word on the left to the definition on the right.

  • Mean
  • Median
  • Mode
  • Range
  • the numerical average of the data given
  • the middle of the set after the set is in numerical order
  • the value(s) that occur the most often; possible none, and range is the spread of the data.
  • the spread of the data
