The mean is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items in the set. Sometimes the mean is also called the average. The mean of this set of data is the average height that the volleyball team could jump.

VOCABULARY Some other descriptions of a set of data are called the median, mode, and range. • The median is the middle value when the data are in numerical order, or the mean of the two middle values if there are an even number of items. • The mode is the value or values that occur most often. There may be more than one mode for a data set. If no value is repeated in the set, the data set has no mode. • The range is the difference between the least and greatest values in the set.
