Make up a set of at least 12 numbers that have the following landmarks. Maximum: 8 Range: 6 Mode: 6 Median: 5
We will be happy to check your thinking.
trying to figure it out so I can help my 5th grade son figure it out. No textbooks to help parents
definitions:
RANGE:difference between the greatest and least number in the data
MODE: the number that occurs the most in the data
MEDIAN: the middle number in the set of data ordered least to greatest (if two numbers are in the middle then you must add the two and then divide by two)
and this is how you would do this if what you meant was the maximum range for the data is 8, the mode is 6, and the median is 5
ok well you have to order the list that you are creating from least to greatest. the difference between the first and last (least and greastest) numbers must equal 8 or less (max. 8 range). the number six MUST occur the most in the set of data (mode 6). the middle number in the set (again stressing that they must be ordered from least to greatest) MUST be 5 (median 5)
please tell me if this is confusing
Wow, I'm ten trying to find the answer to this haha.
To create a set of numbers with the given landmarks, we need to consider the maximum, range, mode, and median.
1. Maximum: The maximum is given as 8. This means that at least one number in the set should have a value of 8.
2. Range: The range is given as 6. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set. Since the maximum is 8, the minimum value would be 8 minus the range (8 - 6 = 2).
3. Mode: The mode is given as 6. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set. So, we need to include at least two 6's in the set.
4. Median: The median is given as 5. The median is the middle value when the data set is arranged in ascending or descending order. For an odd number of values, the middle value is the median. Therefore, we need to include two numbers below 5 and two numbers above 5 to ensure the median is 5.
Based on these landmarks, we can create a set of numbers:
2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8
In this set, the maximum value is 8, the range is 6 (8-2), the mode is 6, and the median is 5.
