Find the modes, medians, and means of the scores in Problem.

1.14, 2.28, 7.58, 6.32, 5.17

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The mean of the scores is obtained as follows:

Mean=Xn=1.14+2.28+7.58+6.32+5.175=22.495=4.498

Thus, the mean of the scores is 4.498.

Step 2

The median of the scores is obtained as follows:

Arrange the scores in ascending order.

1.14, 2.28, 5.17, 6.32, 7.58.

Median=size n+12th item=size 5+12th item=size62th item=size3rditem=5.17

Thus, the median of the scores is 5.17.
