Question

Crash test results the insurance institute for highway safety crashed the 2010 ford fusion four times at 5 miles per hour. the costs of repair for each of the four crashes were $2529,$1889,$2610,$1073 $2529,$1889,$2610,$1073

compute the mean, median, and mode cost of repair.

Answer 1

We know that

The costs of repair for each of the four crashes were

$2529, $1889, $2610, $1073

Here we have to compute the mean, median, and mode cost of repair.

Mean = total cost

the no of crashes

Mean = $2529 + $1889 +$2610 +$1073

4

Mean = $2025.25

Therefore the mean = 2025.25

Then we have to find median.

Now first we have to arrange the data in ascending order (smallest to highest).

$1073,$1889,$2529,$2610

Add the two middle numbers and then divide by two, to get the average:

$1889+$2529 = $4418

Median = $4418/2 = $2209

Therefore the median = $2209

Here there is no mode cost.
