Answer:

Part A:

Mean: 129.8

Median: 131.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average so we add everything together and then divide it by however many numbers there are. 132 + 141 + 110 + 96 + 154 + 135 + 111 + 139 + 102 + 135 + 133 + 127 + 99 + 124 + 129 + 201 + 131 + 128 + 134 + 135 = 129.8

The median is the number in the middle. That is the number in between the rest from smallest to largest. 96, 99, 102, 110, 111, 124, 127, 128, 129, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 135, 135, 139, 141, 154, and 201

The medians are 131 and 132 so we add them together then divide by 2. That gives is 131.5 so that is our answer. I hope this helps and please mark me brainliest!
