Task goals
- Calculate the mean of a dataset (sum divided by count), including cases where the mean is not a whole number.
- Calculate the median of a dataset with an odd or even count of values (for an even count, average the middle two after sorting).
- Find the mode of a dataset, including recognising when a dataset has no mode.
- Calculate the range of a dataset as maximum minus minimum, and describe what it represents (the spread/variation within the data).
- Work backwards from a given mean and a known number of values (with some values missing) to find a missing value.
- Judge which measure of centre (mean, median, or mode) best represents a dataset, especially explaining why the median or mode can be more representative than the mean when an outlier is present.
