For a large sporting event the broadcasters sold 52 ad slots for a total revenue of $145 million. What was the mean price per ad slot?
The mean price per ad slot was $2.8 million.
Compute the mean strength of the concrete. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
The mean strength of the concrete is 3660 psi of pressure.
A histogram of a set of data indicates that the distribution of the data is skewed right. What measure of central tendency will likely be larger, the mean or the median? Why?
The mean will likely be larger because the extreme values in the right tail tend to pull the mean in the direction of the tail.
Compute the median strength of the concrete. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
The median strength of the concrete is 3830 psi of pressure.
The median for the given set of six ordered data values is 30.5. 5, 12, 23, __, 41, 50 What is the missing value?
The missing value is 38.
Compute the mode strength of the concrete. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
The mode strength of the concrete is 4100 psi of pressure.
For the histogram on the right determine whether the mean is greater than, less than, or approximately equal to the median. Justify your answer.
x<M because the histogram is skewed left.
Find the population mean or sample mean as indicated. Sample: 18, 8, 7, 13, 19
