Answer 1

Question 1.

Rearranging order data values :

Sorted Data Set: 51, 51, 51, 54, 57, 57, 59, 64, 67, 69, 70

Calculate Mean

Mean = Sum of all observation/ No. Of observation

Mean = (51+51+51+54+57+57+59+64+67+69+70) /11

Mean = 650 / 11  

= 59.0909

Hence we get Mean = 59.0909

Median = middle most value is median = 6th observation = 57

Mode = Most repeated value in a data set

Hence we get Mode = 51 ( repeated 3 times)

Answer :

Mean = 59.0909

Median = 57

Mode = 51

Question 2.

What is the sample size ?

Answer : 762

The data is categorical or quantitative?
