Question

Find the mean, median and mode of the following data set. Please label each response.

17, 17, 5, 9, 16, 12, 14, 17, 15, 8

Answer 1

13, 15, 17

Explanation:

1. 13 (Add all of the numbers together, then divide by how many numbers there are.)
2. 15 (The middle.)
3. 17 (Because it shows up the most.)

Answer 2

MEAN

add all the numbers together and divide them by the number of data

`(130)/(10) = 13`

MEDIAN

Arrange all 10 numbers in ascending or descending order. Add the two middle numbers and divide their sum by 2. That's the median.

5,8,9,12,14,15,16,17,17,17

`(14 + 15)/(2) = (29)/(2) = 14.5`

MODE

The mode of a data set is the number that occurs most frequently in the set.

`mode = 17`
