• 🖕 The median is the middle value, which changes depending on the size of the dataset.
• ✋ The mode is the number with the highest frequency in a dataset.
• ❓ Excel provides formulas (AVERAGE, MEDIAN, MODE) that make it easy to calculate these measures.
• 😘 The range is obtained by finding the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of numbers.
• 🧡 Excel does not have a specific formula for range, but it can be calculated using the MIN and MAX formulas.
• ❓ Understanding these statistical measures is essential in data analysis and decision-making.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• The average (mean) of a set of numbers can be calculated by dividing the sum of the numbers by the count of numbers.

• The median is the middle number in an ordered set of numbers. If there is an even count, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

• The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set of data.

• The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of numbers.
