Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values in a dataset. In this case, the mean can be calculated as (2426 + 2463 + 1451 + 2154 + 1119) / 5 = 1923. Median is the middle value of a dataset when assorted in the order from smallest to largest. In this case, the data can be assorted as {1119, 1451, 2154, 2426, 2463} and the middle value is 2154. Range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset. In this case, the largest value is 2463 and the smallest value is 1119, so the range is 2463 - 1119 = 1344.
