Question

Find the measures of center—mean, and median—for the given dataset.

10, 17, 11, 24, 12, 7, 15, 17, 20, 5, 11, 21, 16, 17

(The mode is 17)

Mean:

To find the mean, add up all the numbers in the dataset and divide by the total number of values.
(10 + 17 + 11 + 24 + 12 + 7 + 15 + 17 + 20 + 5 + 11 + 21 + 16 + 17) / 14 = 198 / 14 = 14.14 (rounded to two decimal places)

Median:
To find the median, first rearrange the numbers in ascending order:
5, 7, 10, 11, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 20, 21, 24

Since there are 14 numbers in the dataset, the median will be the average of the middle two numbers. In this case, the middle two numbers are the 7th and 8th values: 15 and 16.
(15 + 16) / 2 = 15.5

Therefore, the mean is 14.14 and the median is 15.5.

Answer 2

The mean is incorect

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate the mean using the correct values:

Mean:
(10 + 17 + 11 + 24 + 12 + 7 + 15 + 17 + 20 + 5 + 11 + 21 + 16 + 17) / 14 = 198 / 14 = 14.14

So the correct mean for the given dataset is 14.14. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.

Answer 4

That is the same answer from last time :(

Apologies for the oversight. Let's recalculate the mean for the given dataset.

(10 + 17 + 11 + 24 + 12 + 7 + 15 + 17 + 20 + 5 + 11 + 21 + 16 + 17) / 14 = 198 / 14 = 14.14

It seems that I made the same error again. Let me redo the calculation:

(10 + 17 + 11 + 24 + 12 + 7 + 15 + 17 + 20 + 5 + 11 + 21 + 16 + 17) / 14

= 208 / 14

= 14.86

Therefore, the correct mean for the given dataset is 14.86. Thank you for your patience.
