Median, Mode, and Range


Students used playing cards to determine the median, mode, and range of a set of data. Median is the middle number in the set of data. If there are 2 medians, it is the number in the middle of the 2 median. Mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the set of data. The range is the difference between the smallest and largest number in the set of data.
