Answer 1

1.1.1 To arrange the prices in ascending order, we have:

3.09, 3.20, 3.25, 3.26, 3.65

1.1.2 The second highest price is 3.26.

1.1.3 To determine the median price, we need to find the middle value of the sorted prices.

3.09, 3.20, 3.25, 3.26, 3.65

The median price is 3.25 because it is the middle value when the prices are listed in order.

1.1.4 The data of the prices is discrete, since we are looking at prices per paving brick and the prices are in Rand.

1.1.5 The mode of the collected prices is 3.25, since it appears twice and no other price appears more than once.

1.1.6 The prices 3.91, 3.45, and 3.50 are not included in the given prices, so we cannot determine their relationship to the other data.
