Question

The following frequency table represents the frequency in which a golfer drives a ball different distances.

Golfers’ Driving Range
Distance (in yards) Frequency
210 8
225 10
235 7
255 12
265 3
For the data in the table, compute the following for the golfer's driving distance:
a. median distance for the golfer's drives
b. mode distance for the golfer's drives
c. mean distance for the golfer's drives, rounded to the nearest whole number
d. standard deviation
Submit all of the calculations necessary to compute the median, mode, mean, and standard deviation. You may upload a word processing document or handwritten notes to submit your calculations.

Answer 1

median- 235

mode- 255

mean- 236

standard deviation- 18.6

Explanation:

I think in this case you would need to consider the frequency as well. meaning 210, 210, 210 ,210,210,210,210,210,225,225,225,225,225,225,225,225,225,225,225..etc

Answer 2

The answers are given below, with some explanations.

The median is 235, it is the number in the middle.

The mode is 255, it is the number that shows up the most.

The mean is 231. To find this add up all the numbers and divide by the total amount of numbers.

The standard deviation is 17.5, this describes the spread of the data. To find this you will have to use an online calculator, spreadsheet or do the steps by hand. It is a lot of computation.
