Back

The mean is the average of a dataset, calculated by adding all the values together and dividing by the number of values.

Front

What is the median of a dataset?

Back

The median is the middle value of a dataset when the numbers are arranged in order. If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

Front

What is the mode of a dataset?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset.
