Count, center, and spread answer separate questions; reporting mean and median together makes the uneven shape visible.

Arrange in the correct order
  1. 1. Report the median with count and units
  2. 2. Locate the middle value or pair
  3. 3. Sort valid values from low to high
  4. 4. Apply the stated missing-value rule
  5. 5. Define the population and unit
