Answer:

Part a)

Mean: 13155.6

Mode:None

Median: 12700

Step-by-step explanation:

12700 : 1

15478: 2

12675: 3

11850: 4

13075: 5

Mean :  

=\frac{Sum of all values}{Total no. of values} \\=\frac{12700 + 15478 + 12675 + 11850 + 13075}{5}\\=\frac{65778}{5}\\= 13155.6

Mode:

All values are distinct, therefore there is no mode. A mode is value which occurs most frequently.

Median:

Arrange the values in ascending order:

11850 , 12675, 12700, 12075, 15478

The mid value is median: 12700


Part b)

It depends upon the data. In this question the best way to predict how many miles Gina will drive in the next years is by using Median of the data.

The reason is that there is a potential outlier in the data  i.e 15478. In case of outlier median tends to give better predictions.
