Solution

Here are the answers based on the given dataHere are the answers based on the given

  1. Sample mean: 17.0
  2. Median value: 18.5
  3. Mode: 19 (it appears most frequently in the data)
  4. Midrange: 16.5 (calculated as the average of the maximum and minimum values)
  5. Standard deviation: 4.2 (rounded to one decimal place)
  6. Variance: 17.64 (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, let's move to the next set of questions.

Do you want details on any of the answers above or have additional questions?

Here are 5 related questions that expand on this information:

  1. How does the mean compare to the median in terms of skewness?
  2. Can there be more than one mode in a dataset? If so, what is this called?
  3. What is the range of this sample?
  4. How would removing the outlier (if any) affect the standard deviation?
  5. Can the variance ever be negative?

Tip: Always ensure that your rounding is consistent with the level of precision in the original data to avoid small errors in statistical calculations.
