Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let’s break down and solve the questions based on the data provided in the image. The data set contains these values for the number of transactions:
59, 72, 68, 75, 52, 91, 99, 93.
(a) Find the median:
- Arrange the data in ascending order:
- Since there are 8 values (even number), the median is the average of the 4th and 5th values.
Answer for (a):
(b) Find the mean:
- Add all the values:
- Divide by the total number of values (8):
Answer for (b):
(c) Find the modes:
- Check the frequency of each value in the data:
All values appear once. - Since no value repeats, the data set has zero modes.
Answer for (c): Zero modes
Final Answers:
(a) Median: 73.5
(b) Mean: 76.1
(c) Modes: Zero modes

Related Questions:
- How is the mean calculated for grouped or ungrouped data?
- Why is the median sometimes a better measure of central tendency than the mean?
- What happens if there are multiple modes in a data set?
- How would outliers affect the mean in this data set?
- Can a data set with zero modes still have a high standard deviation?
Tip:
For small data sets, always double-check by ordering the numbers first—it simplifies calculations for both mean and median!
