Answer 1

20 is mean 24 is the median and 21 is mode

Answer 2

Mean = 23

Median = 24

Mode = 24

Explanation:

Mean: The sum of all data values divided by the total number of data values.

⇒ Mean = (24 + 20 + 26 + 24 + 21) ÷ 5 = 23

Median: The middle value when all data values are placed in order of size.

Ordered data values: 20, 21, 24, 24, 26

⇒ Median = 24

Mode: The most frequently occurring data value.

20, 21, 24, 24, 26

⇒ Mode = 24
