Question

The lengths of time, in minutes, that 10 patients waited in a doctor's office before receiving treatment were recorded as follows: 5, 11, 9, 5, 10, 15. 6, 10, 5, and 10. Treating the data as a random sample, find (
a. the mean; (
b. the median; (
c. the mode.

Answer 1

5+11+9+5+10+15+6+10+5+10=86
86/10=8.6
Mean=8.6
5,5,5,6,9,10,10,10,11,15
9+10=19
19/2=9.5
Median=19.5
Mode=5 and 10

a. the mean; 8.6
b. the median; 9.5
c. the mode; 5 and 10

Answer 2

The value of mean , median and mode are as follows:

1)  Mean = 8.6

2) Median = 19.5

3) Mode = 5 and 10

What is mean, median, mode?

'Mean is the most commonly used measure of central tendency. It actually represents the average of the given collection of data. It is applicable for both continuous and discrete data.

Median represents the mid-value of the given set of data when arranged in a particular order.

The most frequent number occurring in the data set is known as the Mode.'

According to the given question,

Mean = ( 5 + 11 + 9 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 6 + 10 + 5 + 10 ) / 10

          8.6

Median = 5 , 5 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 11 , 15

            = (9+10)/2 =9.5

Mode = 5 and 10

Hence, we concluded that the mean of the data set is 8.6 ,median is 9.5 and mode is equal to 5 and 10.
