LANDMARKS

Landmarks include minimum, maximum, range, mode, median, and mean.

Minimum	the smallest value
Maximum	the largest value
Range	the difference between the maximum and minimum
Mode	the value or values that occur most often
Median	the middle value
Mean	the average of a set of numbers

Example: Find the minimum, maximum, range, mode, median, and mean of the following numbers.

1    0    1    2    2    3    4    2    1    4    2

Minimum (smallest value) - 0
Maximum (largest value) - 4
Range (difference between biggest and smallest values) - 4
Mode (most often value/values) - 2
Median (middle value) - 0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,4,4
Mean (average) 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 22

                   22 / 11 = 2. 2 is the mean.
