Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

For a random variable X having k values, the ith observation of which is xi and frequency is fi, such that the total number of observations is n = Σ fi, the sample mean is as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The median is the middle-most observation in the data set. In this case, as this is a frequency data, the median is the smallest value of x for which, the cumulative frequency exceeds n/2.

The mode is the most frequently-occurring observation in the data set.
