Example: The mean of 4 , 1 , and 7 is (4 + 1 + 7) / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4 . Median: The middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle (or if there are two middle numbers, taking the mean of those two numbers).
- It is not possible to create a formula for the median, because the median value depends on the position of the middle value of the set and the fact...

- Yep, you can just keep getting more and more negative.
- I believe you would list them both. So in your case, the modes would be 8 and 10 since they both occur at the same time. I hope this helps!
- Choose MEAN if you need the average and you are working with numerical qualitative values. Choose MEDIAN if you have outliers. Outliers impact the...
- Finding The Mode
- More Than One Mode
- Grouping
To find the mode it is best to put the numbers in order (makes it easier to count them), then count how many of each number. A number that appears most often is the mode.
We can have more than one mode. Having two modes is called "bimodal". Having more than two modes is called "multimodal".
In some cases (such as when all values appear the same number of times) the mode is not useful. But we can groupthe values to see if one group has more than the others. Grouping also helps to find what the typical values are when the real world messes things up!
Example: the function f (x) = x2. The slope formula is: f (x+Δx) − f (x) Δx. Use f (x) = x2: (x+Δx)2 − x2 Δx. Expand (x+Δx) 2 to x 2 +2x Δx+ (Δx) 2: x2 + 2x Δx + (Δx)2 − x2 Δx. Simplify (x 2 and −x 2 cancel): 2x Δx + (Δx)2 Δx. Simplify more (divide through by Δx): 2x + Δx. Then, as Δx heads towards 0 we get: 2x. Result: the derivative of x2 is 2x.
