FINDING MEAN, MEDIAN AND

MODE

Earlier in the year, we discussed statistics, and various types of graphs. We will now be discussing three different ways to interpret data on a graph. These three ways are:

· Mean

· Median

· Mode

Your job is to:

1. Visit the Definitions website to find out what these three words mean, and how to figure them out. Write notes in your math journal if necessary.

2. Refresh your memory on bar, line, and circle graphs by visiting the Graphic Organizers website. Once you have done this, find the mean, median and mode for the three graphs that are shown on the page. Cut and paste the table below onto a Microsoft word document and fill it in. Print out a hard copy and place the completed table in the completed assignments basket. Do work in your math journal if necessary.
