Calculation:
The value of mean will be:
The value of median will be:
Order the given data set and get the middle value.
The ordered set will be:
Hence,
The value of mode will be:
Get the most occurring value. Hence,
(b)

(b)
Answer to Problem 5E
Median
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data set is:
Calculation:
The data is skewed and asymmetrical, median and mode will be preferred in representing the data. The mean is greater than most of the data and mode is less than most of the data. Hence, median will represent this data.
