Using this page
Find the mean (average), median (middle value), mode (most common value) or range (largest minus smallest) of a list of five, seven or nine numbers. Lists are shown in a jumbled order, so the median needs sorting first. Mean questions always give a whole-number answer, and mode questions have exactly one mode. These skills appear from Class 7 to Class 9 in India and in the Year 6 to Year 8 statistics strand in Australia.
Tips
- Show the working, even when the answer seems obvious; it makes mistakes easy to spot.
- Check each answer: put it back into an equation, or estimate before working out.
- Start with the easier setting and move up once most answers are right.
- Mix one older sheet into each week so earlier skills stay fresh.
Worked example
Numbers: 4, 9, 2, 7, 8. Mean = (4 + 9 + 2 + 7 + 8) ÷ 5 = 30 ÷ 5 = 6. In order: 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, so the median is 7. The range is 9 − 2 = 7.
Common mistakes
Finding the median without putting the numbers in order first.
Dividing the total by the wrong number when finding the mean. Divide by how many numbers there are.

Common questions
Why do mode questions have one mode?
To keep the answer clear. A list can have several modes or none, which these sheets avoid.
