You’ve got mode, median, mean and range
Mode, median, mean and range,
Don’t you think these words sound strange?
Don’t you think these words sound strange?
I will get your mind to change!
MODE, mode, m-m-m-mode, mode,
It’s the number that occurs, occurs the most, most,
Singin’ mode, mode, m-m-m-mode, mode,
It’s the number that occurs, occurs the most, most!
You’ve got: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 -- 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4
Which of those numbers did I say more?
Which of those numbers did I say more?
3 is the mode, cuz it occu-u-u-rs the MOST!
[repeat stanza]
Now, STOP! Let’s take it to the middle,
Gonna find the MEDIAN, no time to daddle-diddle.
Line up all the numbers from the smallest to the big
And the one that’s in the middle does the median jig.
“Go median, middle number, Go median, middle number.”
Now the third one’s MEAN, not nice, but mean,
It’s the av-er-age number if you know what I mean.
You just: add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of addends.
What’s that? What’s MEAN?
You add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of addends.
Ya, you know what I mean?
You add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of addends.
It’s the av-er-age number!
Mean: it’s the average number!
One more round, then the song is done.
Let’s talk about RANGE and have some fun.
It’s the biggest number, minus the smallest number – in the group, in the group.
It’s the biggest number, minus the smallest number – in the group, in the group.
You’ve got mode, median, mean and range
Mode, median, mean and range,
Don’t you think these words sound strange?
