   Before you try to solve any problem 
       RULE!!!
   dealing with mean, median, mode, 
   or range you MUST put the numbers 
    in ORDER in a number line from 
    LEAST to GREATEST and then 
     begin to solve the problem!
         1st 
               MEAN
  The “mean” is also known as the “average” in a set of 
                       numbers.
   First you add up all the numbers in a number line and 
  then divide the answer by the amount of numbers you 
                      just added.
                 Example:        1, 3, 5, 7
                  1 + 3 + 5 + 7   = 16
                       16 / 4 =
                      Answer:  4
   **TRICK** Mean is the meanest because it takes the most math to figure 
                          out!
             MEDIAN
        The “median” is the “middle” number in the list of numbers. 
                    Example:        2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9
                            Answer: 5
   *If there is an odd amount of numbers the median is the middle number.
   *If there is an even amount of numbers, to find the median take and add 
              the middle two numbers and then divide by 2.
                   Example:        2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
                            5 + 7 = 12 
                             12 / 2 =
                           Answer: 6 
        ***TRICK*** Think of the median of a highway or the middle of the highway!
              MODE
   The “mode” is that number which appears the “most” 
                       times. 
           Example:        1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6
                      Answer: 4
    ***There can be more than one mode only if they are 
            listed the same amount of times.
            Example:        1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6
                  Answer: 1 and 3
            ***TRICK*** Think of Mode…MO…MOst often!
            RANGE
   The “range” is the “distance” between the lowest 
  and highest number.  Range is found by subtracting 
       the highest number from the lowest number.
           Example:        1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8
                      8 – 1 =
                     Answer: 7
   ***TRICK*** Think of a shooting range… you have to find the distance 
          between your highest shot and your lowest shot!
