38.18\text{38.18}

40\text{40}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Count the number of data points (nn).

    The given data points are: 20, 20, 30, 30, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40.
    There are n=33n = 33 data points.

  2. Calculate the Mean.

    The mean is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points.

    Sum=(2×20)+(2×30)+(29×40)\text{Sum} = (2 \times 20) + (2 \times 30) + (29 \times 40) Sum=40+60+1160\text{Sum} = 40 + 60 + 1160 Sum=1260\text{Sum} = 1260 Mean=Sumn=126033\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum}}{n} = \frac{1260}{33} Mean≈38.1818...\text{Mean} \approx 38.1818...

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    Mean≈38.18\text{Mean} \approx \boxed{\text{38.18}}
  3. Calculate the Median.

    The median is the middle value of an ordered data set. Since the data is already ordered and n=33n=33 (an odd number), the median is the value at the n+12\frac{n+1}{2}-th position.

    Position=33+12=342=17\text{Position} = \frac{33+1}{2} = \frac{34}{2} = 17

    The 17th value in the ordered data set is 40.

    Median=40\text{Median} = \boxed{\text{40}}
  4. Calculate the Mode.

    The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set.

    • The value 20 appears 2 times.
    • The value 30 appears 2 times.
    • The value 40 appears 29 times. The value 40 appears most frequently.
    Mode=40\text{Mode} = \boxed{\text{40}}
