Mid Range:

Mid range is the arithmetic mean of the smallest and largest value.

x 0+ x m
mid−range=
2

Where

X0 is the smallest observation

Xm is the largest observation

Mid range more or less lies in the middle of the data.

Example:

Find mid-range from the following data:

2,5,6,9,7,3,5,8,4,6,7,1,6,8,18,14,19,15,17,12,11,13
