To solve for measures of center, we first need to reorder the numbers on paper from LEAST to GREATEST.
*Count the values in the problem to make sure you have the same number of values on your ordered list.
*Calculate the median by finding the middle number in the ordered list. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
*Calculate the mean by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of values.
*Calculate the mode by finding the number that appears most frequently in the list. If no number repeats, there is no mode.
These three measures of center (median, mean, mode) can help give a better understanding of the data and how it is distributed.
