Answer:
a. All measures exist
b. The Mean and the mode
c. Positively skewed
d. The mean and the median
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The frequencies of the data are;
1 2
2 4
3 1
5 2
6 3
9 1
11 1
14 1
15 1
18 1
The formula for mode is given as follows;
The mean = 108/17 = 6.35
The median of 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 5 5 6 6 6 9 11 14 15 18 = (n + 1)/2th term = 9th term
∴ The median = 5
The mode = 3×Median - 2 × Mean = 15 - 2 × 6.35 = 2.29
Hence all exist
The answer is none theses measures
b. Whereby 18 is replaced by 39 the mean will be then be
(108 + 39 - 18)/17 = 7.59
The median, which is the 9th term remain the same;
Hence only the mean and mode will be affected
c. Since more values are concentrated on the left side of the data distribution, the distribution is positively skewed
d. The largest measurement = 18 the 17th term
Removal will give
Mean = (108 - 18)/16 = 5.625 Mean changes
Median = (16 + 1)/2 th term = 8.5th term = 5 The median remains the same
The mode = 3(Mean - Median) changes
Therefore, the mean and the median will be changed.
