Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, and (d) midrange for the given sample data.
An experiment was conducted to determine whether a deficiency of carbon dioxide in
the soil affects the phenotype of peas. Listed below are the phenotype codes where
1= smooth-yellow, 2=smooth-green, 3=wrinkled-yellow, and 4 = wrinkled-green. Do
the results make sense?
3 3 4 2 2
3 2 3 3 4

(a) The mean phenotype code is
(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
(b) The median phenotype code is
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
(c) Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.
O A. The mode phenotype code is
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
O B. There is no mode.
(d) The midrange of the phenotype codes is
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
Do the measures of center make sense?
A. Only the mode makes sense since the data is nominal.
O B. Only the mean, median, and mode make sense since the data is numerical.
C. Only the mean, median. and midrange make sense since the data is
nominal.
D. All the measures of center make sense since the data is numericalL

A magazine published a list consisting of the state tax on each gallon of gas. If we
add the 50 state tax amounts and then divide by 50, we get 27.3 cents. Is the value
of 27.3 cents the mean amount of state sales tax paid by all U.S. drivers? Why or
why not?
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. Yes, the value of 27.3 cents is the mean because a mean is found by
summing all sample values and then dividing the by total number of
values.
O B. No, the value of 27.3 cents is not the mean because the 50 amounts are
all weighted equally in the calculation, but some states consume more
gas than others, so the mean amount of state sales tax should be
calculated using a weighted mean.
OC. No, the value of 27.3 cents is not the mean because it is the median that
is found by summing all sample values and then dividing the by total
number of values.
O D. Yes, the value of 27.3 cents is the mean because it is a measure of center
and all measures of centers can be refered to as either an average or a
mean.
