6. Mean, Median and Mode Measures of Central Tendency
Mean (average): The sum of all items then divided by the number of items.
Add it all up and divide by how many you have
Median: The exact middle of all items.
Line all items up from least to greatest, and the value right in the middle is the median.
Mode: The item or value that appears most often
Might be bimodal, trimodal, or no mode
Outlier: The value(s) in a set of data that is much smaller or much larger than the rest of the data.

7. for representing the center of the data?
Which is best
for representing the center of the data?
Mean (average): Usually the best when there is no outlier.
Median: Usually the best when there are outliers.
Mode: Usually the best when you want to select the most popular value or data item.

8. Concept Review Find the mean, median and mode for the data:
Mean: 30.7𝑘 or $30,700
Median: 15.5𝑘 or $15,500
Mode:$15 𝑘 or $15,000

9. Frequency Tables
A frequency table is helpful to visualize the spread of data.
Create a frequency table for the data
Which measure of central tendency is best representative of the center of the data?
Salary
Tally
Frequency
Mean: $30.7𝑘 or $30,700
Median: $15.5𝑘 or $15,500
Mode: $15 𝑘 or $15,000

11. Must Do (3/24):
Which of the following CANNOT change the value of a median in a set of five numbers?   (A) Adding 0 to the set (B) Multiplying each value by -1 (C) Increasing the least value only (D) Increasing the greatest value only (E) Squaring each value
{2, 3, 9, 4, 11, 4x – 8, 3y – 4}
The modes of the set above are 2 and 11. What is one possible value of x + y?
4x – 8 = 2 and 3y – 4 = 11
4x – 8 = 11 and 3y – 4 = 2
Let’s deal with possibility 1 first:
4x – 8 = 2 4x = 10 x = 2.5
3y – 4 = 11 3y = 15 y = 5
So one possible value of x + y is = 7.5. d
