Question

The following data show the lengths of boats moored in a marina. The data are ordered from smallest to largest: 16; 17; 19; 20; 20; 21; 23; 24; 25; 25; 25; 26; 26; 27; 27; 27; 28; 29; 30; 32; 33; 33; 34; 35; 37; 39; 40. Calculate the mean, median and mode.

Answer 1

Answer: Mean = 27.33

Median = 27

Mode = 25 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mean is the addition of all the numbers divided by how many numbers that are there.

Mean = (16 + 17 + 19 + 20 + 20 + 21 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 26 + 26 + 27 + 27 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 33 + 33 + 34 + 35 + 37 + 39 + 40) / 27

Mean = 738/27

Mean = 27.33

2. Median is the number in the middle in the ascending or descending other and this will be:

Median = 27/2 = 13.5 = 14th number = 27.

The median is 27.

3. Mode is the number that appears most and this will be 25 and 27 since they appear thrice which is the most times
