What to Focus On

  • Three measures of central tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
  • Arithmetic Mean = Sum of numbers / Count of numbers
  • Median is the middle value in an ordered dataset

  • Three variants of the average formula
  • Average = Sum/n (when sum and count are known)
  • Sum = n × Average (when average and count are known)

  • Simple average treats all numbers equally
  • Weighted average considers the importance of each group
  • Used when combining groups of different sizes

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When combining groups with different averages, you can simply take the average of the averages to get the combined average

If a new number is added to a group and the average increases, the new number must be greater than all existing numbers

In speed problems, average speed equals the average of individual speeds
