Five dots, sitting at 2, 4, 5, 6, 8
Drag the brass dots left and right. The green triangle is the mean — the balance point, like the see-saw point where the dots would balance. The dashed line is the median (the middle one), the range is the gap from smallest to largest, and the mode only shows up when two or more dots land on the same number.
