Explanation Definition: Mean: Suppose the data set contains n data values, the mean x ¯ of the data is computing by the formula x ¯ = ∑ x n . Median: First arrange a set of data values in increasing or decreasing order. The median is the middle value in the list of arranged data values. Case 1: If there are an odd number of values, then the median is the value in the middle position. Case 2: If there is an even number of values, then the median is the mean of two middle values. Mode: “The mode of a set of data is the data value that occurs most frequently. It is possible for a data set to have more than one mode. If no one value occurs more than others, the data set is said to have no mode”. Given: The following distribution is the number of regular-season wins by the Detroit Pistons over 12 seasons ending in 2008: 59 , 53 , 64 , 54 , 54 , 50 , 50 , 32 , 42 , 29 , 37 , 54 . Calculation: Here, n = 12 . Compute the mean of the distribution by using the mean formula mentioned above. x ¯ = 59 + 53 + 64 + 54 + 54 + 50 + 50 + 32 + 42 + 29 + 37 + 54 12 = 578 12 = 48
