Six homes are for sale and have the following dollar values in thousands of dollars:
535
155
305
720
315
214
What is the mean value of the six homes?
The mean is calculated by adding all the values in a group together, then dividing the sum by the total number in the group. In this case, six homes are for sale. The six home values are added together , then that value is divided by six.

What is the median value of the six homes?
The median is determined by ordering the values in the group from least to greatest: 155, 214, 305, 315, 535, 720. The value directly in the middle is the median. For instance, if there are five numbers, the third is the median. Here, we have an even number of values so there is no value directly in the middle. To find the median when there is no middle-most value, find the average of the two middle values. The mean is determined by adding the two values and dividing by two (the number in the group):

A bird watcher observed how many birds came to her bird feeder for four days. These were the results:
Day 1: 15
Day 2: 12
Day 3: 10
Day 4: 13
What is the mean number of birds?
The mean is calculated by adding the values from the four days together, then dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case, four values must be added:

What is the mode of the following list of numbers?
35, 17, 4, 25, 7, 4, 17, 26, 8, 17
The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a series of numbers. First, organize the numbers in order from least to greatest: 4, 4, 7, 8, 17, 17, 17, 25, 26, 35. The number 17 appears three times, more than any other number.

Each student's grade in Becky's math class is determined using a weighted average. Exams comprise 50% of the grade, quizzes comprise 20%, and homework comprises the final 30%. Becky has an 87% average on tests, 82% on quizzes, and 97% on homework. What is her overall grade?
First, convert the weighted percents to decimals.
Next, multiply each score by the weight.
Finally, sum all of the weighted scores.

Find the median of the following number series:
3, 6, 27, 19, 8, 11, 30, 42, 7, 39
The first step to finding the median is always to put the numbers in the proper order:
3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 19, 27, 30, 39, 42
When we have an even amount of numbers, we find the average (or mean) of the middle two to get the median:
11 + 19 = 30/2 = 15

With a standard deck of playing cards, what is the probability of picking one red card followed by one black card, without replacement?
In a standard deck of playing cards we have:
So the probability of picking the first card red is .
Then the probability of picking the second card black is because this is without replacement.
They are independent events so the probabilities get multiplied together to give .

Alice recorded the outside temperature at noon each day for one week. These were the results.
Monday: 78
Tuesday: 85
Wednesday: 82
Thursday: 84
Friday: 82
Saturday: 79
Sunday: 80
What was the mean temperature for the week?
The mean is calculated by adding all the values in a group, then dividing the sum by the total number in the group.

Saturday: 79
Sunday: 80
What is the mode of the temperatures?
The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a series of numbers. First, organize the numbers in order from least to greatest. Then, identify the value that is repeated most frequently.

Six homes are for sale and have the following dollar values in thousands of dollars:
535
155
305
720
315
214
What is the range of the values of the six homes?
The range is the simplest measurement of the difference between values in a data set. To find the range, one simply subtracts the lowest value from the greatest value, ignoring the others. Here, the lowest value is 155 and the greatest is 720.
