What you need to know before the exercises

In this lesson: Calculate mean, median and mode and deliberately choose a simple measure of centre.

How to proceed: For the mean add all values and divide by the number of observations. For the median sort them. For the mode count repetitions.

You can already assume: Data types, frequencies and fraction operations.

Try it now

Calculate the three measures for the dataset.
