Mean is the average: add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers you have.
Mode: Which number shows up most often?
Median: the middle number, when the numbers are arranged sequentially.
Range: difference between the highest and lowest numbers.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
185, 208, 233, 235, 281, 318, 335, 392, 518
The minimum is 185
The maximum is 518
The middle value, also known as the median or second quartile (Q2) is 281.
Now take the lower half: 185, 208, 233, 235 and determine the median. The first quartile or Q1 is the average of 208 and 233.
(208 + 233)/2 = 220.5
Now take the upper half: 318, 335, 392, 518 and find the median. The third quartile or Q3 is the average of 335 and 392.
(335 + 392)/2 = 363.5
hope that helps!
