You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1:  place the numbers in order:  1,1,3,4,4,8,9,9,10 
Mean = the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers (the average) = (1+1+3+4+4+8+9+9+10)/9 = 49/9 = 5.44
  
Median = the middle number = 4.
  
Mode is the number that appears most frequently.  This set has multiple modes {1,4,9} 
Range = the largest - the smallest = 10 -1 = 9.
  
Midrange = the mean of the largest and smallest = (10+1)/2 = 11/2 =5.5 
 Hope the solution helped.  Sometimes you need more than a solution.  Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
