It may be easier to calculate the median, and mode if you rearrange the numbers first.
Median: 95 Mode: This data set does not have a mode.
Practice makes perfect
We want to find the median, and mode of the given data set.
100, 75, 90, 80, 110, 102
The median is the value that divides the ordered set into two halves. The first thing we have to do to find the median is to rearrange the set so that it is in order from least to greatest.
75, 80, 90, 100, 102, 110
The number of values in our set is 6. This is why the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
Median: 90+ 100/2 = 95
Now we want to find the mode. The mode is the most common value in the set. Let's take a look at the ordered set one more time!
75, 80, 90, 100, 102, 110
In our data set every value appears once. This tells us that there is no value that is more common than the other. This is why our data set does not have a mode.
Median: 95
Mode: This data set does not have a mode.
