Question 570991
<pre>
Hello. Guys, I really need your help on this one please
Below are the home states of 16 college professors..
 
Florida Indiana Pennsylvania Arizona Georgia
Florida Tennessee Texas Kansas Arizona
Texas Florida Tennessee Arizona Texas
Indiana
 
 
  a)Make a frequency table using these 8 states:

Just count how many times each state is listed above.  For instance,
Florida is listed 3 times, Indiana is listed 2 times, etc.

State             Frequency

Arizona               3
Florida               3
Georgia               1
Indiana               2
Kassas                1
Pennsylvania          1
Tennessee             2
Texas                 3
 
  b)What is (are) the mode(s)?


The first three letters of the word MOde are "MO" and 
the first three letters of the word MOst are also "MO".
So that's a way to remember that MODE means MOST.

There are three states with the MOST professors, so there are three
MODES: Arizona, Florida and Texas. 


  c)Does it make sense to talk about the average for this data? Why or why not?

No because states are not numbers.  Average number per state in no good either
because all 50 states are not listed.
