3.On spring break, Mirna went to Florida. She collected 6 seashells. The following set of data shows the weight of each seashell in ounces. 16, 17, 13, 12, 18, 20 What is the mode of this set of data? The data set shows the ages of students going to the museum. Choose the values that are equal to 12.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 7

2. 1

3. no mode

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

• $2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 10$

Since there is an even number of items, we compute the median by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers, 6 and 8:

• $6+8=14$
• $14\div2=7$

So the median is 7.

2. Put in order:

• $0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5$

Count:

• 0 (3 times)
• 1 (5 times)
• 2 (3 times)
• 3 (1 time)
• 4 (3 times)
• 5 (2 times)

Find the number that occurs most frequently which is 1 (5 times)

3. Put in order:

• $12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20$

If the values in a given set all occur the same number of times, the data set has no mode because no number is any more common than any other.
