Step-by-step explanation:

mean : 8.8

The mean is the average, so you find it by adding all the numbers together and dividing by n, or how many numbers there are. For this, I added to get 70.4 and divided that by 8 (8 total scores).

70.4/8 = 8.8.

median : 8.85

The median is the middle of the data set, so you put the numbers in increasing order (lowest number to highest number) and then finding the middle of that set. For this set, since there is an even number of numbers (8), you have to find the middle by adding the two middle numbers and dividing by 2.

8.2, 8.7, 8.8, 8.8, 8.9, 8.9, 8.9, 9.2

The middle numbers are 8.8 and 8.9, so you add those together and divide by 2 to get 8.85.

mode : 8.9

The mode is just what number appears most often. Because 8.9 appears three times in this data set, more than any other number, the mode is 8.9.

b. The mean reflects a typical score because it is the average, and is used most often when someone is expressing a typical or "average" score. It is the score most people are likely to get, and as there are no outliers in this data set, it reflects a typical score for this data set. It is also the same as the mode, or most often score, in this data set.

1) Put the numbers in order

8.2, 8.7, 8.8, 8.8, 8.9, 8.9, 8.9, 9.2

2) mean is average

70.4/8 = 8.8

3) Median is the middle number; if m = 2, then divide them by 2

17.7/2 = 8.85

4) Mode is most often

8.9 (3 times)

Blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass. If a package with a net weight of 18 oz contains six muffins, h

Answer:

In each muffin there are 1.53oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to get the weight of just one muffin. If the package contains six muffins we must divide the total weight by six.

$weight_{unit}=\frac{18oz}{6}=3oz$

The weight of just one muffin is 3oz.

Now, the problem says that blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass, which means that we must calculate the 51% of 3oz. We must take into account that 51% equals 51/100 which is 0.51. The equation would be:

$fiber=(3oz)(0.51)=1.53oz$
