======================================
Mean- to get the mean, you add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers you added.

If you are given a problem where they give you the mean, but leave out one of the numbers of data - follow these steps.
1)  Multiply the mean by the amount of numbers the set of data SHOULD have.  (so +1 to the items given)
2.)  Add all the numbers in the given set.
3)  Subtract both numbers.
You now have the missing data number!!  :)

Vocabulary words picture did not come out- so, you will have to wait till tomorrow!!


Measures of central tendency refers to mean, median, and mode.

The median is the middle number of the ordered data or the mean of the middle two numbers.  Half of the data is greater than the median, half of the data is less than the median.

The mode is the number or numbers that occur most often.
