Answer:
Mean: 12.857
Median: 13
Mode: 15
Range: 9
Explanation:
First, let's define what each of these terms mean.
Mean is the average of all the numbers in a set of data. Median is the number in the middle of a set of data after being put in ascending order. Mode is the number most frequently seen in a set of data. Range is the difference between the largest and the smallest number in a set of data.
First, let's go ahead and put all our terms in ascending order. It'll look like this: 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 15, 17.
To find our mean, we'll add up all the terms and divide them by how many there are. First, we'll add up 8 + 10 + 12... and so on for a total of 90. Next, we'll divide 90 by 7 since there are 7 different terms in our set. 90 / 7 should roughly give you a mean of 12.857, but you can round it as needed.
Next, we'll find the median. The median is the number that is in the exact middle of a set once the terms are put in ascending order. Since, we put our terms in order already, we can see that the number in the middle of our set is 13, and I underlined it in the set to give you a visual!
Next, we'll find the mode. The mode is the number most frequently seen in our set of data. Since 15 is listed the most frequently (twice) it is our mode!
Finally, we'll find the range. The range is just the biggest number minus the smallest number. Our biggest number here is 17, and our smallest number here is 8. Just do 17 - 8 for a range of 9. Let me know if you have any other questions!
