Question

The heights in inches, of some small trees for sale at a garden store are 62, 62, 59, 61, 59, 70, 59, and 62. What is the median height? What is the mode? What is the mean height?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the mean height, remember is the average

62+62+59+61+59+70+59+62=494/8=61.75

median is the middle value, so we will write the numbers in order

59,59,59,61,62,62,62,70

we have an even number so we add the middle numbers and divide by 2,

the median=61+62=123/2=61.50

mode is the number that occurs most often : 62 and 59
