Question

Find the mean median mode and range for the following data 77 60 59 70 89 95

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 75

Median = 73.5

Mode = 95

Range = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• 77,60,59,70,89,95

Sort:

• 59,60,70,77,89,95

To find:

• Mean
• Median
• Mode
• Range

Mean:

$\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i =1}^n x_i = \dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_n}{n}}$

Sum of all data divides by amount.

$\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{59+60+70+77+89+95}{6}=\dfrac{450}{6}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{\therefore mean=75}$

Therefore, mean = 75

Median:

If it’s exact middle then that’s the median. However, if two data or values happen to be in middle:

$\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}}$

From 59,60,70,77,89,95, since 70 and 77 are in middle:

$\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{70+77}{2} = \dfrac{147}{2}}\\\displaystyle \large{\therefore median = 73.5}$

Therefore, median = 73.5

Mode:

The highest value or/and the highest amount of data. Mode can have more than one.

From sorted data, there are no repetitive data nor same data. Consider the highest value:

Therefore, mode = 95

Range:

$\displaystyle \large{x_{max}-x_{min}}$ or highest value - lowest value

Thus:

$\displaystyle \large{95-59 = 36}$

Therefore, range = 36
