Finding the mean, median, mode, and range

We have the following data:

54

70

48

66

59

71

42

58

62

We know that the mean is the average. There are 9 numbers, then we add them and divide the result by 9:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{54+70+48+66+59+71+42+58+62}{9}=\frac{530}{9} \\ \frac{530}{9}\cong58.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Mean: 58.9

In order to find the median we arrange the numbers in numerical number and we select the number that is on the center of the arrange:

1. 42

2. 48

3. 54

4. 58

5. 59

6. 62

7. 66

8. 70

9. 71

The median is 59

We know that the mode is the most frequent number: in this case we have not a number that occurs ore than the others. Then it doesn't have mode.

Mode: it doesn't have

We find the range by finding the difference between the lowest and the highest numbers: in this case the lowest is 42 and the highest is 71. Then

71 - 42 = 29

Range: 29
