How to Calculate the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency used to summarize numbers in a data set. Mean, median, and mode help you approximate the center or central number(s) of a data set. The range is the measure of dispersion in a data set. Finding the mean, median, mode, and range To find the mean,Continue reading “How to Calculate the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range”
