Question

the number of eggs found in mallard duck nests at an x-nature center is 8, 7, 7, 9, 11, 8, 12, 10, 10, 5. find the mean, median, and mode.

mean = 8.7, median = 8.5, mode = 7, 8, and 10
mean = 9, median = 11, mode = 10

Explanation:

Order the data set

Using the Ordering Numbers knowledge point

$$ 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12 $$

Calculate the mean

Using the Arithmetic Mean knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Find the median

Using the Median of Data knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Find the mode

Using the Mode of Data knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK2
$$

Answer:

• Mean = 8.7, Median = 8.5, Mode = 7, 8, and 10 (Correct answer)
• Mean = 9, Median = 11, Mode = 10
