Mode, Median, and Range are ways to describe and understand a set of numbers. They help us see patterns, compare values, and summarize data in simple terms.
These three ideas help us better understand and organize numbers in real-life data, such as test scores or sports results.
The mode is the number that appears most often in a data set. There can be one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all.
If two numbers appear the same number of times, the data is called “bimodal.” If no number repeats, there is no mode.
The median is the middle number when the data is written in order from least to greatest.
The median helps you find the center of the data, even if the numbers are very spread out.
The range tells how spread out the numbers are. It is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in a set.
The range shows how far the data stretches from the lowest to the highest value.
Let’s use all three with one set of numbers.
Mode shows what happens most, median shows the middle, and range shows how far the numbers spread apart.
