Numeracy Week 8

This week for numeracy we have been working on averages. We had a group of numbers and we had to put them in order (smallest to largest number) Then we had to find the Mode, Range, Median and mean. For example if I had a group of numbers 3,9,6,4,6. First you have to put them in order so it now becomes 3,4,6,6,9.
To find the mode you have to find the most popular number. With those numbers 6 is the most popular number.  To find the range you have to look at the difference between the smallest and biggest number (3&9) So the difference is 6. The median is the middle number which is also 6.  To find the mean you have to add all the numbers and divide your answer by how many numbers there are so 3,4,6,6,9 28 divided by 5. comment below what you get. (it contains decimals). Here is some of my work.
