Mean, Median, Mode (Averages) and Range

How to find a common statistical number is a crucial part of post-experiment data analysis. However, too many notations would pop into our mind if we start to carry out the data analysis. I searched across the whole Internet and tried to find all of the useful notations in this field. And I will also extend to other formal literatures in the future.

Mean: add up all of the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are.

Median: put the numbers in order and find the middle number.

Mode: the most common number.

Range: the difference between the biggest number and the smallest number.
