00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.513
Here is the problem: Data: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4.

2
00:00:06.963 --> 00:00:09.889
Measures of central tendency for a list of numbers.

3
00:00:10.689 --> 00:00:13.626
Sort the data from smallest to largest.

4
00:00:14.076 --> 00:00:17.582
Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.

5
00:00:18.032 --> 00:00:24.743
Median: the middle value of the sorted list. With 7 values (odd), the median is value number 4.

6
00:00:25.193 --> 00:00:29.535
Mode: the value(s) that appear most often. Most frequent: 3.

7
00:00:30.335 --> 00:00:33.017
Range: largest minus smallest.

8
00:00:33.817 --> 00:00:45.090
So the answer is Mean equals 2.571428571; Median equals 3; Mode equals 3; Range equals 3.

9
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:55.188
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
00:00:55.988 --> 00:01:05.044
Sum 18 equals mean times n equals 2.571428571 times 7 equals 18.
