About This Worksheet

This medium-level worksheet contains 24 problems designed for 9th Grade students practicing measures of central tendency. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.

Measures of central tendency are the first tools of statistical analysis. Understanding the difference between mean and median — and when each is the more meaningful summary — is critical for evaluating the statistics encountered in news, research, and everyday life.

  • Calculate mean, median, and mode for data sets including large data sets
  • Identify which measure of center best represents a data set
  • Understand how outliers affect the mean differently from the median
  • Find the weighted mean when data values have different frequencies
  • Distinguish between a data set with one mode, multiple modes, and no mode
