Okay, James, let's complete Question #1 using your re-arranged data. Question #1) Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range for the following sales data: 1700; 2200; 2400; 2900; 1800; 3700; 1200; 2300; 600; 1600; 2000; 3900; 1100; 1700; 2900; 2900; 2900. Step 1: Use the ordered data. You've correctly re-arranged the sales data in ascending order: 600, 1100, 1200, 1600, 1700, 1700, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2900, 2900, 2900, 2900, 3700, 3900. There are n=17 data points. Step 2: Calculate the mean. The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. Mean = ( x)/(n) = (600+1100+1200+1600+1700+1700+1800+2000+2200+2300+2400+2900+2900+2900+2900+3700+3900)/(17) Mean = (37600)/(17) ≈ 2211.76 The mean is \2211.76. Step 3: Calculate the median. Since there are 17 data points (an odd number), the median is the ((n+1)/2)-th value in the ordered list. Median position = (17+1)/(2) = 9-th value Counting to the 9th value in your ordered list: 600, 1100, 1200, 1600, 1700, 1700, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2900, 2900, 2900, 2900, 3700, 3900. The 9th value is 2200. The median is \2200. Step 4: Calculate the mode. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset. In your ordered list, the value 2900 appears 4 times, which is more than any other value. The mode is \2900. Step 5: Calculate the range. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the dataset. Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value = \3900 - \600 = \3300 The range is \3300$.
