Topics to be discussed:
Measures of Central Tendency
 MEAN ▪ is the total of all the values, divided by the number of values

MEDIAN
▪ is the middle number in a list of numbers
ordered from smallest to largest (or vice versa)

MODE ▪ is the value that appears most often in a set of data

RANGE ▪ is the difference between the lowest value and the highest value

Definition of Terms
 { 1,2,3 }
MEAN ▪ AVERAGE

MEDIAN ▪ MIDDLE 1, 2, 3

MODE ▪ TRENDING

RANGE ▪ SPAN or SCOPE
