Exam Review

Mean- add up all values divide by how many values there are.
eg: 6 + 4 + 8 = 18
     18  ÷ 3 = 6 
     the mean is 6.
Median- the middle number in a set of ordered values, might be the mean of 2 middle values. 
eg: the median of 2,5,6,8,9 is 6.
Mode- the value that shows up the most.
eg: the mode of  3,5,7,7, is 7.
Range- positive difference between largest and smallest values.
eg: the range of 4,8,5,6,9,1,3,5,8,6
                                  1,3,4,5,5,6,6,8,8,9  is  9-1=8
Outlier- value that are too big or too small compared to the other values.
eg: 3,8,4,5,9,33,5,6
       3,4,5,5,6,8,9,33 3 and 33


*always arrange the numbers from least to greatest*
