Statistics - Mean/Median/Mode/Range - Name to Approach (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on developing understanding and skills related to measures of central tendency, specifically the mean, median, mode, and range. Students are tasked with identifying the correct approach for calculating these statistical measures based on provided descriptions. The problems aim to reinforce the distinctions and calculation methods for each measure: summing and averaging for mean, ordering and selecting the middle for median, identifying the most frequent for mode, and subtracting the smallest from the largest for range. This practice is part of a basic introduction to probability and statistics.
