what is the first thing u should do to find the mean and range of a data? medal fan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you know about mean and range?

OpenStudy (jebonna):

to find the mean add all numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean add all of the numbers and divide by how ever many there are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mean is just another name for average. To find the mean of a data set, add all the values together and divide by the number of values in the set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The median of a data set is the number that is the middle value of the set. It's easy to find the median if you first put the numbers in order from least to greatest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. put the numbers in order from least to greatest B. count the numbers C. add the numbers D. divide by the total number of numbers I don't know what it means that's why I'm asking this question here...these are the multiple choice answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he range of a data set is the difference between the largest number and the smallest number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

range is subtracting the highest and lowest no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A @Kate101

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be D. though cause you have to divide for the mean and range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you have to put the numbers from least to greatest first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not for range though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but for mean you need too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its asking for range and mean..not just mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going with D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he is right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

told you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was just trying to make sure you had the right answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
