1. The ages, in years, of the people seated in one row of a movie theater
are 16, 15, 24, 33, 30, 56, 19, and 19. Find the mean, median, mode, and
range of the data set.
Mean
The mode is 19, since it is the number that occurs most often.
Arrange in order from least to greatest.Median 15, 16, 19, 19, 24, 30, 33, 56
Mode
56 – 15 = 41Range
