Mode • The number that appears most often in the list • (there may be no mode in a list or more than one mode) • Put numbers in order!
example • Find the mode 85,90,90,87,73
Median • Number in the middle when the list is in order
example • Find the median 85,90,90,87,73,100 • List in order (73,85,90,90,100) • Find the middle (90) • If more than one middle, add both and divide by two
