Recall that the mean of a data set is thesum of the measurements in the data set divided by the number ofmeasurements in the data set, the median is the "middle" value whenthe data have been ordered, and the mode is the measurement (ormeasurements) with the highest frequency.(a) We're asked which, if any, of the three measures of central tendencydo not exist for the data set. The mean and median always exist for adata set. The mode exists for a data set except in the case that none ofthe measurements in the data set is repeated, that is, in the case thateach number in the data set occurs with frequency one. Such is not thecase for the data set in the problem, so a mode exists. (The mode of thedata set is 69.) Therefore, all three measures of central tendency exist forthe data set.(b) If 33, the smallest measurement in the data set, were replaced by 24,then the mean of the data set would decrease (from about 60.9 to about60.5). In fact, as you can check, replacing any measurement in the originaldata set by any smaller value decreases the mean. However, replacing 33by 24 would not change the median, since the median does not dependon the actual value of the smallest measurement (but only on the factthat the smallest measurement is the smallest measurement). In general, wesay that the median is resistant to extreme values, but the mean is not.The modes for this data set would not change because 33 is not a modeand replacing it by 24, a value not in the original data set, would notaffect the frequency of the other values.(c) If the largest measurement, which is 77, were removed from theoriginal data set, then the mean would necessarily decrease. In fact,removing any measurement larger than the mean of the data set willcause the mean to decrease. (Here, the mean decreases from about 60.9to about 60.1.) In this case, the median also is affected. In particular, themedian changes from 63 to 62 when the measurement is removed. Themode does not change when the measurement is removed.(d) To get an idea of the distribution of the original data, it is helpful tolook at the histogram for the data, which is shown above. Looking at thehistogram, we see that the distribution of data is not symmetrical. Inparticular, the distribution has a noticeable "tail" extending to the left(but no such "tail" extending to the right). This occurs because there areseveral measurements that are quite small relative to the othermeasurements. If a distribution is not symmetrical and if its histogramshows a tail to the left, then the distribution is said to be skewed to theleft, or negatively skewed.O ANSWERMean(a) Which measures of central tendency donot exist for this data set?
