It is computed by adding the values and dividing by the number of values. Average is a synonym for arithmetic mean \u2013 which is the value obtained by dividing the sum of a set of quantities by the number of quantities in the set. An example is (3 + 4 + 5) \u00f7 3 = 4. The average or mean is 4. Two other common forms of averages are the <strong>median<\/strong> and <strong>mode<\/strong>. The median is the middle value of the set when they are ordered by rank \u2013 or the point in a series of numbers above and below which is half of the series. An example would be: The median income of a four-person family in Connecticut is $82,517. The mode is the most frequent value in a set of data. If you had nine students taking an exam and the scores were: 91, 84, 56, 90, 70, 65, 90, 90, 30 \u2013 then the mode is 90, the most common score. The median (middle) score is 84.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dictionary.com\/mean-median-mode\/\">http:\/\/blog.dictionary.com\/mean-median-mode\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mean (or arithmetic mean) is a type of average.
