6. 22-6 Mean - Average used to indicate a single value that represents an entire group of numbers Median - A measurement that indicates the center of the data (Average) Terminology Mode - a measurement that records values. The value that occurs most often

7. 22-7 Mean Mean = Sum of all values Number of values What is the mean of the following daily sales? Sun. Mon.Tues.Wed.Thur.Fri.Sat. $400$100$68$115$120$68$180 Mean = $400 + $100 + $68 + $115 + $120 +$68 + $180 = $150.14 7

8. 22-8 Weighted Mean Weighted Mean = Sum of products Sum of frequencies What is the weighted mean (GPA) for the student? Credit Grade Points Courses attempted received (Credits x Grade) Business Math3 B 9 (3 x 3) Speech3 C 6 (3 x 2) Accounting4 A 16 (4 x 4) English3 B 9 (3 x 3) 13 40 40 = 3.08 13

9. 22-9 Finding the Median of a Group of Values Step 1. Orderly arrange values from the smallest to the largest Step 2. Find the middle value A.Odd number of values: Median is the middle value. Divide the total number of numbers by 2. The next- higher number is the median. B. Even number of values: Median is the average of the two middle values. Find the median age 42, 35, 87, 23, 50 23, 35, 42, 50, 87 35, 42, 50, 87 42 + 50 2 46 Find the median age 42, 35, 87, 50

15. 22-15 Index Numbers Price relative = Current price x 100 Base year’s price A computer cost $850 today relative to a cost of $1,300 some 5 years ago. What is the relative price? $850 x 100 = 65.38 = 65.4 $1,300

17. 22-17 Step 1. Find the mean of the set of data Step 2. Subtract the mean from each piece of data to find each deviation Step 3. Square each deviation (multiply the deviation by itself) Step 4. Sum all squared deviations Step 5. Divide the sum of the squared deviations by n - 1, where n equals the number of pieces of data Step 6. Find the square root ( ) of the number obtained in Step 5. This is the standard deviation Intended to measure the spread of data around the mean Standard Deviation
