Answer 1

Answer:

A. The mean mileage per gallon is _____ 28.99__

A. The median mileage per gallon is _____27.905_____

B. The mode does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= Sum of values/ No of Values

            Mean =  24.2 + 22.2+  37.8+ 22.7 + 35.4 +31.61/ 6

           Mean = 173.91/6= 28.985 ≅ 28.99

The median is the middle value of an ordered data which divides the data into two equal halves. For an even data the median is  the average of n/2 and n+1/2 value where n is the number of values.

Rearranging the above data

22.2 , 22.7 , 24.2 , 31.61 , 35.4, 37.8

Third and fourth values are =24.2 + 31.61 = 55.81

Average of third and fourth values is = 55.81/2= 27.905

Mode is the values which is occurs repeatedly.

In this data there is no mode.
