Answer 1

minimum = lowest
maximum = highest
mean add up all the numbers and divide by the number of entries you had to add
range= the difference between the highest number in the set and the lowest number in the set of data (range = highest - lowest )
median= arrange all the entries in order from lowest to highest and pick the middle entry
if you have an even number of entries then take the average of the 2 middle numbers
example if you have 5 entries then the median is item number 3 if you have 6 items then the median is what you get when you add the 3rd and 4th entries together and divide by 2
