define the following words in analysis of data? average.means,mode.range?

As far as I understand average and mean are the same thing.  Average is adding up the numbers in a set of data and divinding by the number of numbers you added up.  Example: 3, 6, 3 add up to 12, divide that by 3 and your average is 4.  The mode is the number that appears the most often.  In the set of numbers I gave as an example 3 is the mode.  Range of data is finding the difference between the highest and lowest number.  In the set of numbers above I would take 6 - 3 = 3. so three is the answer.  Good luck!

Mode is the number that appears most frequently is a set of sample data:\n\nTake the following set of test scores:\n35, 40, 60, 80, 80, 90, 90, 90, 100\nThe mode is 90.\n\nHere's the number of chocolate chips found each each cookie:\n5, 0, 2, 4, 4, 5, 3, 1, 1, 2, 5\nThe mode is 5\n\nHere's the number of points I've gotten on various questions here on Yahoo answers:\n2, 2, 10, 10, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 10, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2\nAs much as I would like the mode to be 10, it is actually 2\n\nHope that helps!\n\nBy the way, mean is the average and median is the number that would fall in the middle of the sequence if you ordered them in ascending order, in case you need to know those definitions also.  I'll leave figuring the mean and median of the examples above to the reader...

There are three averages, you need two, the mode+median, the other one is the mean.  \n\nThe median is the middle of the data, so just arrange the data in order from least to greatest and cross out ones from either side one by one, but you're left with two in the middle, just take the average of 9 and 15, you get 12, which is your median.  \n\nThe mode is the value that appears most in a set of data, in the first set 9 appears the most, thrice, so it's the mode.  \n\nIn the second set no number appears more frequently than the others so there is no mode.  \n\nHope this helps!!

The standard deviation tells you how far away something is from the average.  You can do a standard deviation on any set of data, however most people are familiar with the Normal Distribution.

Mean: (the same as the average) add all the numbers and divide the total by the amount of numbers added. \nExample: 1 5 7 2 9\n1+5+7+3+9=25\nDivide by 5\nMean=5\n\nMedian: the middle number when placed in numerical order low-high\nExample: 1 2 4 6 9 10 15\nFind the middle term (in this case 6 but if there is no exact middle and it is between 2 numbers like this: 1 2 4 5 it would be in between the numbers in the middle (so it would be 3) )\nSo the median is 6\n\nMode: The most repeated number\nExample: 1 5 8 1 4 9 1 5\nThe mode would be 1 because it appears three times) \n\nRange is the difference between the highest and lowest number\nExample: 1 4 5 9 3 \n9-1=8\nRange=8\nHope this helps.

Mean is the average, when adding all numbers then dividing by the amount of numbers given.\n\nMedian is the numbers in the middle average - 8

Try these websites for information on the use of mean, median, and mode in marketing decisions:\n\nhttp://www.learnpremium.co.uk/CIMA/lesson2/page4.aspx\n\nhttp://www.quickmba.com/stats/centralten/\n\nWhat is the appropriate use of mean, median and mode? It's not uncommon to get these three terms confused or misused. In addition, depending on which one is used -- the results can vary widely. So here's an easy way to remember which one is which. "Mean" is average (think mean people as being very average). "Median" is middle (think median strip of a highway) and "Mode" is most common (think "a la mode"). If you were measuring household income, all three measures could give you a different result. Mean income could be the total income divided by the number of households. Median, on the other hand, is that point which half of the people are below and half are above. Mode would be the most common answer. By using different definitions, your answer to "average" income could be $75,000,$56,000 and $45,000 respectively. Bottom line--be careful when you use any one of these terms

Go to yahoo and it will help you do this homework  put in define \nstatistic and a parameter and it will tell you the difference.

Mode is most occuring. I always remember it because like M for most and O for occuring. \n1 3 4 4 4 4 4 5 6 6 6 \n \n4 would be the mode\n\n\nMedian is like middle number. median.. middle. they just kinda go together. you line them up in order then cross the end ones off until there is only one left. if there are two of them left then add them up and divide by two.\n \n2 3 4 5 6 7 8\n \nfive would be the median\n\n\nMean is average. i always remember it by ME Average? haha kind of doesnt make sense but hey it works for me. thats when you add all the numbers up and divide the sum by how many numbers there are \n\n1 2 3 4 5 6 \n\nso 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21 / 6 =  3.5\n\nso the mean is 3.5

Descriptive Statistics do no intend to "fit" a distribution on the data or to predict new observations given the data.\nInstead, it pretends to "describe" the data in terms of its central tendency measures (mean, median, etc.) as well as dispersion statistics (variance,  rank, inter-quartile rank, etc.), bias statistics, etc.\nSummaries like histograms are also a good example of descriptive statistics.

The word you're looking for is "measured"..?

I would say variance, but I'm no statistics expert.

The arithmetic mean is the average or the sum of the data divided by the sample size.  It is an appropriate measure of central tendancy for data taken for a normal population.  505 of the data is on one side of the mean and 50% on the other (Bell shaped curve).  In this case, the mean equals the median.  \n\nThe median is the exact middle of the data by count.  Splits the data by count not value.  (If you had 9 data points the median would be the 5th number when order from smallest to highest.)  It is a good measure of central tendency for skewed data or data with long tails.  Nonnormal.  For highly skewed data, the mean and median could be far apart.\n\nMode is the most frequent value in the data set.  It is good for central tendency for data with multiple modes (bimodal, trimodal, etc).  It is also good for nominal data (nonnumeric data).
