OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean is another word for average. add the numbers up, then divide by 4

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

thats the data set

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay so first add all numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all those together should equal 29.41875, then divide by 4

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so then divide by 3

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

9.80625 thats not a answer choice either

Nnesha (nnesha):

well you should add all numbers bec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all those 3 together equals 31.275

Nnesha (nnesha):

29.41875 is not right

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

@Nnesha

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

the mode is the number that appears most often...and there does not have to be one

Nnesha (nnesha):

mode is the value that occurs most often

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

but there is in this problem

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

What is the median of the following set of data? 37, 32, 40, 35, 32, 33, 30, 43, 38 40 33 27 35

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

median is the middle number...so first put the numbers in order from least to greatest...or greatest to least...it does not matter

Nnesha (nnesha):

or average of two middle numberz

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

true...if there is an odd number of numbers, just take the middle number if there is an even number of numbers, take the two middle numbers and divide by 2

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

but first make sure and put the numbers in order

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

ok

Nnesha (nnesha):

so median is = ??

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

mean -- average -- add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. median -- middle number mode -- number that appears most often

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

did you find the median ?
