Middle, Most Often, Least to Greatest

Mean , Median, and Mode.
what are they?
Mean- all data added together and divided by number of participants or points
Mode- most common number
Median-middle number in data
 helpful tips

this topic is rather common in society, but we do not always realize it.

teachers use it for grading and for class averages
jobs use these math tips to order shoe sizes, board sizes, ect
if we do not know these numbers the effects can show, we can not buy the right things like the right shoes and not have the right stock
and grades would be a mess and students would not know what they will have in the class and what they need to work on in order to pass their class

here are some test scores


88,75,56,87,56

what is the
mode-56, because there is two 56 test scores
median-75 because lining them up least to greatest 75 is the middle number
mean-72.4 because adding them all up and divide by 5
