There are 25 students in Ms. Meads first grade class who took a
spelling test. These were the students scores:

89 92 95 98 73
82 90 92 81 66
76 78 82 78 79
90 81 77 100 82
87 85 90 90 67



Median = 82 Lower Extreme = 66
Quartile 1 = 78 Upper Extreme = 100
Quartile 3 = 90 Range = 34
Mean = 84 Mode = 90

Median (The middle number):
Arrange the given numbers in order from least to greatest
Cover up one number at a time from both ends until you reach the
middle number
If there are two numbers in the middle, add them together and divide
the answer by 2

Quartile 1 ( Q
1
) :
Quartile 1 (Q
1
) is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Quartile 1= 78

Quartile 3 ( Q
3
) :
Quartile 3 (Q
3
) is the median of the upper half of the data set.

66,67,73,76,77,78,78,79,81,81,82,82,82,85,87,89,90,90,90,90,92,92,95,98,100


Quartile 3 = 90

Mean (The average value of numbers in a given set):
Add up all the numbers
Divide the sum by the number of values added together

66 + 67 + 73 + 76 + 77 + 78 + 78 + 79 + 81 + 81 + 82 + 82 + 82 + 85 + 87 + 89
+ 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 92 + 92 + 95 + 98 + 100= 2100
2100 / 25 = 84

Lower Extreme:
The lowest or smallest value in a set of data

66,67,73,76,77,78,78,79,81,81,82,82,82,85,87,89,90,90,90,90,92,92,95,98,100

Upper Extreme:
The greatest value in a set of data

66,67,73,76,77,78,78,79,81,81,82,82,82,85,87,89,90,90,90,90,92,92,95,98,100

Range (The difference between the greatest and lowest numbers in a set):
Put values in order from smallest to largest
Subtract the lowest number from the greatest number


66,67,73,76,77,78,78,79,81,81,82,82,82,85,87,89,90,90,90,90,92,92,95,98,100

100 66 = 34

Mode (The number that appears the most often):
Arrange the given numbers in order from smallest to largest
Find the number that appears the most
If all numbers occur the same amount of times, there is no mode
If more than one number appears the same amount of times, there is
more than one mode
