What is the mean, median, and mode of 86, 90, 93, 85, 79, 92?

Answer 1

Oliver Aldrich

Mean: 87.5
Mode: NO mode
Median: 88

Mean = #"sum of all the numbers"/"how many numbers there are"#

The sum of the six numbers is 525.

Therefore, their mean is #525/6=87.5#

The number that appears the most frequently in the sequence is the mode, or the number with the highest frequency.

Since each number there only appears once, there is NO mode in this instance.

When numbers are arranged in ascending order, the middle number is called the median.

85, 86, 90, 92, and 93

The middle number is between 86 and 90. So your middle number can be found by #(86+90)/2=88# So your median is 88

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
