Statistics

Mean, median, mode, range, and displaying data — with an interactive exercise.

Statistics covers collecting, showing and summarising data with the mean, median, mode and range, plus charts and graphs.

Mean = total ÷ number of values; median = middle of ordered data; mode = most frequent; range = largest − smallest. For 4, 6, 8 the mean is 6.

Remember

  • Order the data before finding the median.
  • Range measures spread; mean/median/mode measure the centre.
