Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 33.31

Median = 26

Mode = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

32 44 25 66 27 12 62 9 51 4 17 50 35 99 30 21 12 53 25 2 18 24 84 30 17 17

Reordered data : 2, 4, 9, 12, 12, 17, 17, 17, 18, 21, 24, 25, 25, 27, 30, 30, 32, 35, 44, 50, 51, 53, 62, 66, 84, 99

The mean, xbar = Σx / n = 866 /26 = 33.31

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

Median = 1/2(27)th term = 13.5th term

Median = (13 + 14)th / 2

Median = (25 + 27) / 2 = 26

The mode = 17 (highest frequency)
