00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.757
Here is the problem: Data: 13, 30, 16, 17, 9, 8, 5.

2
00:00:07.207 --> 00:00:10.051
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:10.851 --> 00:00:13.835
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:14.285 --> 00:00:17.849
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:18.299 --> 00:00:24.766
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 7 values (odd), the median is value number 4.

6
00:00:25.216 --> 00:00:31.845
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Every value appears exactly once, so there is no mode.

7
00:00:32.645 --> 00:00:35.315
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:36.115 --> 00:00:44.869
So the answer is Mean equals 14; Median equals 13; Mode equals no mode; Range equals 25.

9
00:00:45.319 --> 00:00:55.141
The mean balances all values, the median splits the sorted data in half and is less affected by outliers, and the mode is the most common value.

10
00:00:55.941 --> 00:01:02.094
Sum 98 equals mean times n equals 14 times 7 equals 98.
