a) It is possible to find the mean of the given colors.
b) It is possible to find the median of the given colors.
c) It is possible to find the mode of the given colors.
How to calculate the mean
To calculate the mean, assign numerical values to the colors (e.g., purple = 1, blue = 2, red = 3, green = 4) and calculate the average.
Thus; we have
Purple: 1, 1, 1
Blue: 2, 2
Green: 4
Red: 3, 3
Put the numbers together
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3
Mean = 1+1+1+2+2+4+3+3 = 14/ 8
Mean = 1.75
To find the median, arrange the colors in ascending or descending order and find the middle value.
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4
Median = (2 + 2)/2 = 4/2
Median = 2
To determine the mode, identify the color that appears most frequently in the list.
The colour that appear most frequently is 1
Thus; the mode is 1
