Name the four vocab words that stand for MMMR?
Mean, median, mode and range are terms used to describe sets of data. Mean, median, mode and range help you to understand the data set. Knowing the mean, median, mode and range can help you to make decisions.
Mean, Median, Mode and Range
Mean: The mean is the average value of all numbers in a set of data. Median: The median is the middle value of a set of data. Mode: The mode is the most common value in a set of data. Range: the difference between the highest and lowest values (EX: 99 "Highest #" - 58 "Lowest") You take the highest number set and subtract it by the lowest number set!
Concepts:
Which concept means looking for the average?
The mean, median, mode and range are also known as measures of central tendency and dispersion. The mean of a data set can be affected by outliers or extreme values. In some data sets there is no mode because all values occur with the same frequency.
