Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Score 1:

3, 7, 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 6, 5

Mean =
`(3 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 5)/(10) = (56)/(10) = 5.6`

Median: order the data from least to the greatest.

3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (5 + 6)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5

Mode = value with the highest frequency = 5

Score 2:

34, 54, 17, 26, 34, 25, 14, 24, 25, 23

Mean = sum of all values/10

Mean = 276/10 = 27.6

Median: order the data set from min to max.

14, 17, 23, 24, 25, 25, 26, 34, 34, 54

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (25 + 25)/2 = 50/2 = 25

Mode = 25 and 34 (both have frequencies of 2)

Score 3:

154, 167, 132, 145, 154, 145, 113, 156, 154, 123

Mean = sum of all values/10

Mean = 1443/10 = 144.3

Median: order the data set from min to max.

113, 123, 132, 145, 145, 154, 154, 154, 156, 167

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (145 + 154)/2 = 299/2 = 149.5

Mode = 154
