  1. . 45, 50, 47, 47, 51, 53, 56, 58, 48, 49, 45, 50, 47, 46

    x = 1/n En 1=1
    = 45 + 50 + 47 + 47 + 51 +53+ 56 + 58 + 48+ 49+ 45 + 50 + 47+ 46
    = 692
    1/14*692
    so the mean = 49.23

    median = the two middle numbers /2
    = 56+58/2
    = 57

    mode is the most frequent
    = 47

    mean = 5.53

  3. solution 1
    to find the mean - add all the numbers and divide the total by the no. of terms
    45 + 50 + 47 + 47 + 51 + 53 + 56 + 58 + 48 + 49 + 45 + 50 + 47 + 46 = 692/14
    mean = 49.42

    mode is the number that occur the most
    therefore mode = 47

    median is the number that occurs in the middle
    first we have to rearrange the numbers in assending order so
    45, 45, 46, 47, 47, 47, 48, 49 50, 50, 51, 53, 56, 58,

    since there are two middle numbers we find their mean
    hence median = (48+49)/2
    median = 48.5

    since the number of terms is a odd number the median is the number that appears in the middle
    hence the median is = 6

  8. Q.#.1
    solution
    • The mean is the sum of all the numbers, divided by the sum of all terms
    = [45 + 50 + 47 + 47 + 51 + 53 + 56 + 58 + 48 + 49 + 45 + 50 + 47 + 46] = [692/14]
    mean = 49.42

    • The mode is the number that occur the most. = [45,50,47,47,51,53,56,58,48,49,45,50,47,46].
    The mode = 47

    • The median is the middle number.
    Arrange the numbers in ascending or descending order.
    45, 45, 46, 47, 47, 47, 48, 49 50, 50, 51, 53, 56, 58.

    Since there are two middle numbers we add them up and divide them by 2.
    = (48+49)/2
    = 48.5

  9. Q.#.2
    solution
    • The mean is the sum of all the numbers, divided by the sum of all terms
    =[6+ 8+ 4+ 8+ 6+ 9+ 1+ 2+ 8+ 4+ 6+ 7+ 3+ 7+ 4+ 3+ 7+ 7+ 5 = [105/19]
    mean = 5.526

    • The mode is the number that occur the most. = [6,8,4,6,9,1,2,8,4,6,7,3,7,4,3,7,7,5].
    The mode = 7.

    • The median is the middle number.
    Arrange the numbers in ascending or descending order.
    = [1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,8,8,8].

    Since there are two middle numbers we add them up and divide them by 2.
    = (6+6)/2
    = 6.

  10. 1.45, 50, 47, 47, 51, 53, 56,58,48,49,45,50, 47, 46
    mean= the sum of all the numbers divided by the amount of no.

    692/14=49.43

    median= the middle number when arranged in either acending or decending order if there is two middle numbers you would have to add them an then divided them by two ........

    the followin number were arranged in acending..

    45,45,46,47,47,47,48,49,50,50,51,53,56,58

    =48+49
    =97/2
    =48.5

    mode is the most frequent ocurring number
    =47

    median=75

    "STANDARD DEV."
    steps for calculating
    1.find the mean
    2.subtract the mean from each member
    3.square the difference
    4.find the sum of these squares
    5.divide this sum by n-1
    6.find the square root of this result
