Looking at the data below, find the mean, median, mode, and range.

20, 25, 24, 17, 21, 19, 21, 27

Which mode of central tendency give you the greatest value?

1 answer

Mean: (20+25+24+17+21+19+21+27)/8 = 21.75

Median: Arrange the data in numerical order: 17, 19, 20, 21, 21, 24, 25, 27. The median is the middle number, which is 21.

Mode: The mode is the number that appears most frequently in the data set, which is 21.

Range: The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values, which is 27-17 = 10.

The mode of central tendency that gives the greatest value is the mean.
