1 answer:

6 0

This is a result of the rules of significant figures. These are the digits of the numbers that matter. For operations involving multiplication, the product should have the same significant numbers with the least significant numbers of the given data. In this case, that would be 0.4. Since 0.4 has one significant figure, then the product should be reported with one significant number. That should be 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For The mean

The mean is going to be sum of the numbers divide by the number

Mean = (130130 +145145+ 215215 +170170+ 165165 +225225+ 240240 +185185+ 130130 +132132 )/10

Mean =1738737/10

= 173873.7

For Median

Wee arrange ascending order

130130, 130130, 132132, 145145, 165165, 170170, 185185, 215215, 225225, 240240

Median = (165165+170170)/2

Median = 335335/2

Median = 167667.5

Mode = 130130
