Statistics for Beginners: Mean, Median, Mode + Real-World Meaning

Описание: In this Unit 1 Statistics Review, you’ll learn the definitions of mean, median, and mode and how to calculate each one step-by-step using clear examples. We’ll also cover a key exam idea: when to use the mean vs. the median, especially when a data set has an outlier.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

Define mean, median, and mode (measures of center)

Compute mean, median, and mode from a data set.

Handle odd vs even numbers of values when finding the median.

Identify when the median is a better “typical value” than the mean (outliers)

If you’re studying for a quiz, state test, or getting ready for a statistics unit exam, this is the review you need.

Practice Tip: Pause the video and try each example before I reveal the solution.

0:55 — Mean definition (the “average”) + formula
1:30 — Mean example (step-by-step: add then divide)
2:35 — Median definition (the “middle”) + MUST order the data
3:10 — Median with odd number of values (middle value)
3:55 — Median with even number of values (average the two middle)
4:45 — Mode definition (most frequent) + no mode / multiple modes
5:35 — Quick practice: identify mean/median/mode from a set
6:40 — EXAM IDEA: Mean vs Median (which one should you use?)
7:05 — How outliers change the mean (pulls it up/down)
7:45 — Why the median is more resistant (stays “typical”)
8:30 — Mini example with an outlier (compare mean vs median)
