Question

ten students in Ashton class were randomly selected and asked how many phone call they made yesterday their answer where 1,0,10,2,9,15,0 and 3 find the mean of the data find the median of the data find the mode of the data find the range of the data

Answer 1

Mean = 2.2

Median = 1

Mode = 0 and 1

Range = 9

Explanation:

First arrange the number of calls from least to greatest.

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9

Mean is the average. Add the numbers together and divide by 10 since there are 10 numbers in total.

0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 9 = 22

22/10 = 2.2

Mean = 2.2

Median is the middle number. Since there is an even amount of numbers, take the 5 and 6 number in the list, add them together and divide by 2. You are taking the average of the two numbers.

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9

1 + 1 = 2

2/2 = 1

Median = 1

Mode is the number that occurs the most.

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9

In the list the numbers 0 and 1 both occur 3 times.

Mode = 0 and 1

Range is the biggest number (9) minus the smallest number (0).

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9

9 - 0 = 9

Range = 9
