Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

{a[0]}, {a[1]}, {a[2]}, {a[3]}, {a[4]}, {a[5]}, {a[6]}, {a[7]}, {a[8]}, {a[9]}

Mean: Gap 0.

Median: Gap 1.

Mode: Gap 2.

Give your answers to 1 d.p. where appropriate.

Advice

The mean, median and mode are all averages. Each gives us some information about a typical member of a set of data.

To calculate the mean, you need to find the total of all the test scores and divide it by the number of scores -- in this case 10.

The median is the middle score, when the scores are arranged in order. In this case the number of scores is even, so we need to find the mean of the 5th and 6th scores.

The mode is the most frequent score.

See

http://www.skillsyouneed.com/num/averages.html
for more information on these three types of average.
