Answer 1

Explanation:

List of numbers:

5, 7, 4, 7, 7, 6, 7, 8, 8, 4, 5, 8, 6, 7, 5, 6, 5, 8

There are 18 numbers for 18 years

To find Median:

The median is the average. Add up all of the numbers, and divided by how many numbers there are, 18

Median = (5 + 7 + 4 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 7 +5 +6+ 5+8) / 18

Median = 113 / 18

Median = 6.3

To find Mode:

Mode is the number that occurs the most

There are two 4's

There are four 5's

There are three 6's

There are five 7's

There are four 8's

There are the most 7's, so 7 is your mode

To find Median:

To find the Median, list the numbers in order from smallest to largest. The number in the middle is your median. If the there is not middle number then take the average of the two middle numbers.

4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8

The line is where the middle of the numbers are. You must take the average of 6 and 7 to find the median.

Median = (6+7) / 2

Median = 13/2

Median = 6.5

Answer 2

Mean: 6.3; Median 4; Mode 7.

Explanation:

To find the mean, you need to add up every number, and then divide your solution by how many numbers you had to add:

5 + 7 + 4 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 8 = 113

Then, divide the 113 by the amount of numbers you just added which is: 18.

113 divided by 18 = 6.27; rounded to the nearest tenth would be 6.3.

To find the median, we have to find the number in the middle of the set:

5 + 7 + 4 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 8

The 4 is the median.

To find the mode, we have to find what number comes most in the sequence. This number would be 7 coming in at 5 times.
