00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.999
Here is the problem: Data: 3, 8, 30, 28, 1, 3, 25, 12.

2
00:00:08.449 --> 00:00:11.444
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:12.244 --> 00:00:15.112
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:15.562 --> 00:00:19.266
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:19.716 --> 00:00:27.344
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 8 values (even), the median is the average of values 4 and 5.

6
00:00:27.794 --> 00:00:31.962
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Most frequent: 3.

7
00:00:32.762 --> 00:00:35.374
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:36.174 --> 00:00:45.590
So the answer is Mean equals 13.75; Median equals 10; Mode equals 3; Range equals 29.

9
00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:55.978
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
00:00:56.778 --> 00:01:04.534
Sum 110 equals mean times n equals 13.75 times 8 equals 110.
