(Enter your answers to one decimal place.)144, 146, 149, 149, 162, 165, 165, 172, 180, 180, 180, 181, 183, 183
(a) Mean value = ----------------. (Enter your answer to two (2) decimal places.)
(b) Median = ------------------ . (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)
(c) Mode = --------------------

Answer 1

Answer:a) mean=167.1

b)median=168.5

c)mode= 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= total sum of values in the data set/ number of values

=2339/14=167.1

Median = midpoint = 165+172/2= 337/2= 168.5

Mode= number with the highest number of frequency, for this data set, 180 occurred most because it occurred three times
