What is the first thing you should do to find a mean and range of data?

Answer

To find mean of data add all the numbers in the set of data and divide the sum by the number of addends.

To find range, identify the difference between the highest value and lowest value in the set of data.

Explanation

Mean, mode, median and range are the primary measurements used to get the measures of central tendencies. To get the mean and range; first arrange the data in an ascending order, then identify the highest value and the lowest value in the set. The difference between these two data values gives the range of the set of values. For the mean, add all the set of values and then divide their sum with the number of values in the set of data.
