recall and apply the formula for the mean of data set,
understand that a quantitative data set has only one mean and median but can have zero, one, or many modes,
compare the measures of central tendency for multiple data sets,
calculate the mean, median, and mode in a variety of real-world examples where the data can be given as a list of values or as a frequency table.
