Question 95887This question is from textbook Algebra 2
: Find the mean,median,mode of each data set. Give answers to the nearest thousandth,when necessary.
1,3,4,8,1,7,1,5
This is what I have tried so far and I dont know if its right. 1,3,4,8,1,7,1,5=30/8=3 mean=3,median=8,mode=1

MEAN or average: 1+3+4+8+1+7+1+5=30
30/8=3.75
.
Median or middle number:
Arrange in ascending order:
1,1,1,3,4,5,7,8
Find the middle number or numbers.
There are two numbers (3 and 4), so find the mean of these two numbers:
3+4=7
7/2=3.5
.
Mode or most:
1 occurs the most.
