This week you will find the mean, mode, median, and range of a set of data. As you find the mean, or average, of sets of data, observe that the mean may not be a member of the set. The mode is not a very useful measure since many sets of data have several modes. A set of data with two modes is called bimodal. The median is the middle point of a group of numbers. The range is the differance between the greatest and least numbers in a set of numbers.
