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?
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.
