Answer to Problem 24STP

B. Median

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given data is

  28,32,21,25,33,32,20,26

Calculation:

Mean = Sum of all observations/Total number of observations

  =28+32+21+25+33+32+20+268=2178=27.125

Median = The exact middle value of the data when arranged from least to greatest

Order the data from least to greatest: 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 32, 32, 33

As, the total number of observations are 8 (even), median will be 4th term + 5th term/2.

So, Median = (26 + 28)/2

Median = 54/2

Median = 27

Mode = The most frequent value in the given data set

So, Mode = 32

Hence, the answer is Jamal is referring to Option B. Median
