1. get them in numerical order first

anonymous · Answer

14,14,24,25,26, 27,28,29

anonymous · Answer

Mean= average.
add together all the values, and divide by the number of values.
14+14+24...=187

anonymous · Answer

since there are 8 numbers, divide 187 by 8
23.375
mean=23.375

anonymous · Answer

ur left with 25,26 in the middle. find the average of those two.
25+26/2=25.5
median=25.5

anonymous · Answer

mode=most.
which number occurs the most times in this set?
answer=14
mode=14

anonymous · Answer

Range= biggest number in ur set minus the smallest number
29-14
15
Range=15

anonymous · Answer

2. mean=23.375
median=25.5
mode=14
range=15

adios! aie aie aie!

dan815 · Answer

hmmm what would best represent the whole data set id have to say Range, or Mean, but probably range since it will tell you what range of data we are dealing with, mean is not bad to go with too

anonymous · Answer

oh ok thx

dan815 · Answer

The range should say 14-29
