Answer:
Mean = 33.7
Median = 34.5
Mode = 34
Range = 33
After adding 26....
mean decreases by 0.7
median decreases by 0.5
mode is 34
range is 33
Explanation:
mean = sum of all the data values/number of data values
= (18 + 19 + 20 + 34 + 34 + 35 + 37 + 42 + 47 + 51)/10
= 337/10
= 33.7
To find median arrange the values in increasing order, find the mid value
If the number of data points is even, find the average of the mid 2 data values
Arranging data values we get:
18, 19, 20, 34, 34, 35, 37, 42, 47, 51
Since there are 10 data values, take the average of the middle two:
(34 + 35)/2 = 34.5
The mode is the value that occurs most often. We see that there are two instances of 34 whereas the other values appear only once
Mode = 34
The range is highest - lowest = 51 - 18 = 33
After we add 26, we get the following data set arranged
18, 19, 20, 26, 34, 34, 35, 37, 42, 47, 51
we can calculate the stats using the same technique as above
We get the following values
mean = )(18 + 19 + 20 + 26 + 34 + 34 + 35 + 37 + 42 + 47 + 51)/11
= 33
median = 34
mode = 34
range = 51-18 = 33
To find the decrease in mean and median subtract from the first set of values
