00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.793
Here is the problem: Data: 1.5, 2.5, 3.5.

2
00:00:06.243 --> 00:00:09.157
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:09.957 --> 00:00:12.906
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:13.356 --> 00:00:16.944
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:17.393 --> 00:00:23.988
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 3 values (odd), the median is value number 2.

6
00:00:24.438 --> 00:00:30.905
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Every value appears exactly once, so there is no mode.

7
00:00:31.705 --> 00:00:34.375
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:35.175 --> 00:00:44.266
So the answer is Mean equals 2.5; Median equals 2.5; Mode equals no mode; Range equals 2.

9
00:00:44.716 --> 00:00:54.457
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
00:00:55.257 --> 00:01:03.140
Sum 7.5 equals mean times n equals 2.5 times 3 equals 7.5.
