Question

Calculate the mean,median,and mode of the following set of data. Round to the nearest tenth 10,1,10,15,1,7,10,1,6,13

Answer 1

Let's start with the mean. 

To find the mean of a data set, add all the numbers, then divide by the number of numbers there are. 

10 + 1 + 10 + 15 + 1 + 7 + 10 + 1 + 6 + 13 = 74
74/10 = 7.4

The mean is 7.4

Now for the median.

To find the median put all the numbers in order, then find the middle number.

1, 1, 1, 6, 7, 10, 10, 10, 13, 15

The number in between 7 and 10 is 8.5
The median is 8.5

And finally, the mode.

To find the mode, find the number that appears the most. 

1, 1, 1, 6, 7, 10, 10, 10, 13, 15

In this case, there are two modes. 1, and 10.

Answer 2

Mean: 7.6

Median: 10

Mode: 10

Explanation: I am sure you missed an extra 10 in your problem. There are supposed to be four 10's (Well at least in my problem). The rest you know, the answer are stated for the set of data: 10, 1, 10, 15, 1, 7, 10, 10, 1, 6, 13.
