Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through each of the problems in the image.
Problem 1:
You are given two sets of dataLet's go through each of the problems in the image.
Problem 1:
You are given two sets of
- Data a: 20, 18, 15, 11, 12, 13, 14
- Data b: 30, 15, 16, 17, 18, 27, 14, 26
The task is to find:
- (mean) for each data set
- The median () for each data set.
Solution for (Mean):
- For Data a:
- For Data b:
Solution for Median ():
-
For Data a (sorted: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20): The median is the middle value of the ordered set. Since there are 7 data points, the median is the 4th value, which is 14.
-
For Data b (sorted: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 26, 27, 30): There are 8 data points, so the median is the average of the 4th and 5th values:
Problem 2:
You are given a set of weights of babies:
- Data: 15, 16, 21, 25, 35, 14, 13, 12, 14, 17, 22, 19, 23, 16, 30, 31, 18, 25, 18, 24, 18, 14, 21, 30, 32, 19, 23, 22, 17, 19, 22, 28, 29, 33, 20, 24, 21, 35, 24, 20, 25, 29, 28, 35
The task is to:
- Create a frequency distribution.
- Calculate the mean ().
- Calculate the median ().
Solution:
Let me calculate the frequency distribution and then proceed to calculate the mean and median.
I'll calculate those now.### Problem 2 Results:

Would you like more details or have any further questions?
Here are 5 related questions to explore:
- How would you interpret the frequency distribution of baby weights?
- How do outliers affect the mean and median?
- How can you construct a histogram based on the frequency distribution?
- What is the significance of using both mean and median in data analysis?
- How can you find the mode for the baby weights data?
Tip: When analyzing data, always check if the mean and median are close to each other. If they are significantly different, it could indicate skewness in the data.
