Calculating Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

What are the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set: 206, 194, 198, 172, 190?

Can you explain how to calculate the mean of a data set?

Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Calculation

The mean of the data set 206, 194, 198, 172, 190 is 192.

The median is 194.

The mode is 194, as there is a repeated value of the highest frequency.

The range is 34, calculated by subtracting the lowest value (172) from the highest value (206).

Calculating the mean of a data set involves adding up all the values and then dividing by the total number of values. In this case:

(206 + 194 + 198 + 172 + 190) / 5 = 960 / 5 = 192

Therefore, the mean of the data set 206, 194, 198, 172, 190 is 192.

To calculate the median, you arrange the data set in ascending order and find the middle value, which in this case is 194.

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set. In this case, 194 is the mode as it appears more than once, unlike the other values.

The range is determined by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value. Thus, 206 - 172 = 34, giving us the range of the data set.
