The numbers of words defined on randomly selected pages from a dictionary are shown below. Find the​ mean, median, and mode of the listed numbers.
65  58  40  35  60  55  52  46  73  66 What is the​ mean? 

To calculate the mean, add all the numbers together and then divide by the total count of numbers.

Given dataTo calculate the mean, add all the numbers together and then divide by the total count of numbers.

Given  
\[
65, 58, 40, 35, 60, 55, 52, 46, 73, 66
\]

### Step 1: Find the Sum of All Values
\[
65 + 58 + 40 + 35 + 60 + 55 + 52 + 46 + 73 + 66 = 550
\]

### Step 2: Count the Total Number of Values
There are 10 values.

### Step 3: Calculate the Mean
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Total number of values}} = \frac{550}{10} = 55
\]

So, the mean is **55**.

Would you like me to find the median and mode as well, or provide further details?

1. What is the median of a dataset, and how is it found?
2. How do you calculate the mode in a dataset with multiple values?
3. What would happen to the mean if we added another value to this dataset?
4. Can the mean be lower than the smallest number in a dataset?
5. How does an outlier affect the mean of a dataset?

**Tip:** In a dataset with an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

The numbers of words defined on randomly selected pages from a dictionary are shown below. Find the mean, median, and mode of the listed numbers: 65, 58, 40, 35, 60, 55, 52, 46, 73, 66. What is the mean?

Find the mean, median, and mode for a set of dictionary word counts: 65, 58, 40, 35, 60, 55, 52, 46, 73, and 66. This solution guides you through calculating the sum, counting values, and applying measures of central tendency for Grades 6-8.
