Descriptive StatisticsIntroduction
Find the mean, median, mode, and range for
the following list of values:
13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13
The mean is the usual average, so:
(13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) 9
= 15
Note that the mean isn't a value from the original
list. This is a common result. You should not
assume that your mean will be one of your
original numbers.
The median is the middle value, so I'll have to
rewrite the list in order:

There are nine numbers in the list, so the middle one will be
the(9 + 1) 2 = 10 2 = 5th number:
13, 13, 13, 13,14,14, 16, 18, 21
So the median is14.Copyright Elizabeth Stapel 20042011 All Rights Reserved
The mode is the number that is repeated more often than
any other, so13is the mode.
The largest value in the list is21, and the smallest is13, so
the range is21 13 = 8.

Descriptive StatisticsIntroduction
Instatistics, thestandard deviation(SD, also
represented by the Greek letter sigma,for the
population standard deviation orsfor the sample
standard deviation) is a measure that is used to
quantify the amount of variation or dispersionof a
set of data values.
A standard deviation close to 0 indicates that the
data points tend to be very close to themean(also
called the expected value) of the set, while a high
standard deviation indicates that the data points
are spread out over a wider range of values.
