Mean, Median, Mode, and Interval (Basic Statistics – 6th Grade)
These four concepts are fundamental concepts in statistics and help us understand and describe a set of numbers in different ways.
________________________________________
📊 Mean (Arithmetic Mean)
The mean is what most people use and refer to as the average in their daily lives.
To find it, we add all the numbers and divide by the number of values.
“Mean” = “Sum of all values” / “Number of values”
Example:
Numbers: 4, 6, 8
Mean = (4 + 6 + 8) ÷ 3 = 6
________________________________________
📍 Median
The median is the middle number when we arrange data from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.
If there is one number in the middle, it is the median; if there are two numbers, half the sum of these values is the median.
Example:
Numbers: 3, 5, 7 → Median = 5
or; 2, 4, 8, 9 → 4+8=12 12:2 =6
median=6.
________________________________________
🔁 Mode
The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in a data set.
Example:
Numbers: 2, 4, 4, 6 → Mode = 4
In a set of numbers, the following can be related to the mode:
Unimodal mode
Multimodal mode
No mode (if all numbers are different)
________________________________________
📏 Range
The range shows how widely spread the numbers are in a data set.
It is the difference between the largest and smallest values.
“Range” = “Maximum value” – “Minimum value”
Example:
Numbers: 2, 5, 9 → Range = 9 − 2 = 7

➕ Mean (Average)
The sum of all values divided by the number of values. Total / Count
📐 Median
The middle value in a sorted list. If even, the average of the two middle values.
🎯 Mode
The value that appears most frequently. A set can have one, many, or no mode.
↔️ Range
The difference between the largest and smallest values. Max - Min
