Question

Find the mean, median and mode of the following data set. Please label each response.

17, 17, 5, 9, 16, 12, 14, 17, 15, 8

Answer 1

Answer:

13, 15, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 13 (Add all of the numbers together, then divide by how many numbers there are.)
2. 15 (The middle.)
3. 17 (Because it shows up the most.)

Answer 2

MEAN

add all the numbers together and divide them by the number of data

$\frac{130}{10} = 13$

MEDIAN

Arrange all 10 numbers in ascending or descending order. Add the two middle numbers and divide their sum by 2. That's the median.

5,8,9,12,14,15,16,17,17,17

$\frac{14 + 15}{2} = \frac{29}{2} = 14.5$

MODE

The mode of a data set is the number that occurs most frequently in the set.

$mode = 17$
