the data set is given - 15 -8 - 21 -12 -10 - 32 -24 -15 which statement is false

Question

A. The range is 24.
B. The mode is-15.
C. The median is -15
D. The mean is -17

Answer 1

D. The mean is -17 is false.

To find the mean (average), we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers:

(-15) + (-8) + (-21) + (-12) + (-10) + (32) + (-24) + (-15) = (-73)

There are 8 numbers in the data set, so:

(-73) ÷ 8 = -9.125

Therefore, the mean is -9.125, not -17.
