    If a set of data has two modes, it is called


    bimodal.

    The median is the middle value when they


    are listed in order of increasing size.

    The ages of 10 students are shown below:


    11, 14, 11, 12, 11, 11, 12, 9, 13, 14
    16.6 Using statistics Example #1

    The mean is the sum of all the values


    divided by the number of values.

    The ages of 10 students are shown below:


    11, 14, 11, 12, 11, 11, 12, 9, 13, 14
    16.6 Using statistics Example #1

    The range is the largest value minus the


    smallest value.

    The ages of 10 students are shown below:


    11, 14, 11, 12, 11, 11, 12, 9, 13, 14

    Choose the median, as there are as many values above as below. The
    mean is 2.03 but is affected by a few high values. The mode is too
    low, as there are 22 values higher than the mode and only 13 values
    that are lower than the mode.

    and 50 below the mean, so it sits quite centrally in the whole data.

    below, so it sits quite centrally in the whole data.
