Answer 1

Mean= 242.5 pounds

Median= 236 pounds

Mode= 208 and 278 pounds

Range=117 pounds

Mid-range= 58.5 pounds

B. The results are likely to be representative because a championship team is most likely representative of the entire league.

Explanation:

278 303 186 292  276 205 208 236 278 198 208

Arranged in ascending order is

186 198 205 208 208 236 276 278 278 292 303

Mean = (186 +198+ 205+ 208 +208 +236 + 276+ 278 +278+ 292 +303)/11

Mean =2668/11

Mean= 242.5 pounds

Median = the middle number

Median= 236 pounds

Mode = highest occuring number(s)

Mode= 208 and 278 pounds

Range= highest number- smallest number

Range=303-186

Range=117 pounds

Mid-range= range/2

Mid-range= 117/2

Mid-range= 58.5 pounds
