00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.812
Here is the problem: Data: 17, 24, 8, 6, 11, 27, 27.

2
00:00:09.262 --> 00:00:12.188
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:12.988 --> 00:00:15.832
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:16.282 --> 00:00:19.730
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:26.693
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 7 values (odd), the median is value number 4.

6
00:00:27.143 --> 00:00:32.089
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Most frequent: 27.

7
00:00:32.889 --> 00:00:35.571
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:36.371 --> 00:00:47.853
So the answer is Mean equals 17.14285714; Median equals 17; Mode equals 27; Range equals 21.

9
00:00:48.303 --> 00:00:58.183
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
00:00:58.983 --> 00:01:08.550
Sum 120 equals mean times n equals 17.14285714 times 7 equals 120.
