Answer:
Mean: 65.25
Median: 70.5
Mode: 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is the sum of the set of numbers divided by the number of numbers in the set.
20+68+70+70+71+72+75+76=522
522/8=65.25
The median is the number that is in the middle of the set when put in numerical order.
Since there is an even amount of numbers, the two middle numbers are 70 and 71, so you would take the mean of these two numbers to find the median.
70+71=141
141/2=70.5
The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the set.
70 appears more times than any other number, therefore it is the mode.
Answer:if there are 7 HS students for every 2 MS students and there are 18 MS students...
18/2 = 9
9(7) = 63
So, there are 18 + 63 = 81 total students.
Since we had 9 parts last year also (1:8), 81/9 = 9 students are in each part. 8 students in each part are HS and one is MS.
8(9) = 72 HS students last year.
72 - 63 = 9 fewer HS students than last year.
Hope this helps!
