Question

Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following set of data. Round to the nearest tenth. 12,7,12,9,2,15,6,6,6,1,11

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean: 7.9
Median: 7
Mode: 6

Explanation:

Sort the date set!

1, 2, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 12, 15

Then start by finding the mean of the data set!

Mean: the sum of all numbers divided by the amount of numbers

Mean = 1 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 12 + 12 + 15 = 87 divided by 11 = 7.9

Median: middle number in the data set

Data set: 1, 2, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 12, 15

Median = 7 because it is in the middle

Mode: the number that is being used the most

Data set: 1, 2, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 12, 15

Mode = 6 because it is used 3 times
