Answer:

A. 3

B. 2.825

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Number of bedrooms (x) > Frequency(f)

1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5

2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 10

3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 15

4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 7

5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3

Mode =?

Mean average of bedrooms =.?

A. Determination of the modal average of bedroom.

The mode of a given set of data is the the value with the highest frequency.

Considering the table given in the question above, we can see clearly that 3 has the highest frequency. Hence 3 is the modal average of the bedroom is 3

B. Determination of the mean average of bedroom.

Mean = Σfx / Σf

Σfx = (1×5) + (2×10) + (3×15) + (4×7) + (5×3)

Σfx = 5 + 20 + 45 + 28 + 15

Σfx = 113

Σf = 5 + 10 + 15 + 7 + 3

Σf = 40

Mean = Σfx / Σf

Mean = 113 / 40

Mean = 2.825

Therefore, the mean average of bedroom is 2.825
