Grades 5–6–7

Order data lists from least to greatest to find the exact middle value (median).

Grades 5–6–7

Identify the most frequent value (mode) and the spread between maximum and minimum (range).

Grades 4–5–6

Compute all four central tendency and spread statistics for each data list.

Grades 5–6–7

Use the given mean and known data values to solve for the missing number x.
