Is this a mean, median, mode and range type of question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (xaze):

So it seems like this question is simply telling you which of those to use. You could probably use all four, or maybe three, or two of them.

OpenStudy (xaze):

Do you know how to find the mean, median, mode, and range of this set of numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so...

OpenStudy (xaze):

Okay. Do you know the definition of Mean?

OpenStudy (xaze):

Or simply how to find the mean. ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm....lets see mean means add then divide

OpenStudy (xaze):

Close. It means to add all the numbers, and then divide it by the amount of numbers in the set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to divide

OpenStudy (xaze):

So if I have a set of six numbers : 10, 11, 33, 4, 5, 1 Id add them all together and then divide them by 6. (10+11+33+4+5+1) / 6

OpenStudy (xaze):

You don't know how to divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (xaze):

How old are you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (xaze):

Ahaha. Okay, ill try to teach you ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! thanks

OpenStudy (xaze):

So let's say you wanted to solve 4 divided by 40.|dw:1418698542799:dw|

OpenStudy (xaze):

The first thing you'd have to do is look at the first number, that is being divided. 40 is the number that is being divided.

OpenStudy (xaze):

And the first number in 40 is obviously the 4.

OpenStudy (xaze):

4 can only go into four one time. So now it'll look like this.|dw:1418698640942:dw|
