Question 41

What is the mean of the values 13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13?

Answer 41

15 ## Footnote The mean is calculated by adding all values and dividing by the number of values: (13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) ÷ 9 = 15.

Question 42

What is the median of the values 13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13?

Answer 42

14 ## Footnote The median is the middle value after sorting the list: 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21. The 5th number is 14.

Question 43

Answer 44

8 ## Footnote The range is calculated by subtracting the smallest value (13) from the largest value (21): 21 - 13 = 8.

Question 45

What is the mean of the values 1, 2, 4, 7?

Answer 45

3.5 ## Footnote The mean is calculated by (1 + 2 + 4 + 7) ÷ 4 = 14 ÷ 4 = 3.5.

Question 46

Answer 46

3 ## Footnote The median is the average of the two middle numbers (2 and 4), so (2 + 4) ÷ 2 = 3.

Question 47

Answer 47

No mode ## Footnote There is no mode because all numbers appear only once.

Question 48

What is the range of the values 1, 2, 4, 7?

Answer 48
