00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.303
Here is the problem: Data: 24, 9, 29, 6, 11, 20, 21.

2
00:00:07.753 --> 00:00:10.679
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:11.479 --> 00:00:14.428
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:14.878 --> 00:00:18.628
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:19.078 --> 00:00:25.684
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 7 values (odd), the median is value number 4.

6
00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:32.787
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Every value appears exactly once, so there is no mode.

7
00:00:33.586 --> 00:00:36.233
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:37.033 --> 00:00:48.190
So the answer is Mean equals 17.14285714; Median equals 20; Mode equals no mode; Range equals 23.

9
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:58.381
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
00:00:59.181 --> 00:01:09.038
Sum 120 equals mean times n equals 17.14285714 times 7 equals 120.
