First put the numbers in order from 3 to 9. Include all of the numbers.
Mode is the number that shows the most often.
There are five 5's for the mode.
The mean is the average.
Add all the numbers together and divide by the total numbers.
mean=90/15=6
The median is the number half way down or in the middle of a set of uneven numbers.
median=6 number eight in the set of fifteen numbers.
If there is an even number in the set, take the average of the two in the middle.
By the way, the Range is also 6 in this case. The distance from the lowest number to the highest number.
Remember, always put the numbers in order first. Step one.
