Mean
The mean is the average of a data set. To find it you have to add up all of the numbers in a data set and divide them by how many numbers there are.
Median
The median is the middle number in a data set. You have to put all of the numbers in ascending order then delete out all the numbers two by two starting from the outside going inwards until you hit the middle.

The mode is the most repeated number in a data set. To find it just put the numbers in ascending (this makes it easier on you) then look for the number which is there the most.


Range
The range is the difference between the highest and the lowest number in a data set. To find it you put the numbers in ascending order and subtract the lowest number from the highest number.
