• The The differencedifference between the between the greatestgreatest and and leastleast numbers in a set numbers in a set of of datadata
• EX: 89, 82, 79, 74, 69, 67, 58, 56, 54EX: 89, 82, 79, 74, 69, 67, 58, 56, 5489 is the greatest number54 is the least numberTheir difference is 89-54 or 35.The range of this data is 35.
MedianMedian
• Middle numberMiddle number of a set of data, of a set of data, when the numbers are in when the numbers are in numericalnumerical order. If there are order. If there are twotwo middle numbers, the middle numbers, the meanmean (average) of the two numbers is (average) of the two numbers is the median.the median.
Examples:Examples:
• Ex: 115, 108, 101, 92, 84, 84, 62Ex: 115, 108, 101, 92, 84, 84, 62
• Ex: 3, 8, 12, 35, 45, 61, 78, 81Ex: 3, 8, 12, 35, 45, 61, 78, 81
92 is in the middle & is the median.
There are two middle numbers, 35 & 45.
Find the number halfway between 35 & 45.

MeanMean
• An An averageaverage of the values in a set of of the values in a set of datadata
• Useful when there are no Useful when there are no outliersoutliers
• If the values of a group of data is If the values of a group of data is evenedevened outout so all the values are the so all the values are the same, the evened-out number is the same, the evened-out number is the meanmean
• Another procedure to find the Another procedure to find the meanmean is to is to dividedivide the the sumsum of the values by of the values by the the numbernumber of values in the set ( of values in the set (addadd & & dividedivide))
• EX: 4 + 7 + 3 + 4 + 13 + 3 + 7 + 13 EX: 4 + 7 + 3 + 4 + 13 + 3 + 7 + 13 ==
