Question

Blood alcohol concentrations of drivers involved in fatal crashes and then given jail sentences are shown below. Find mean, median, and mode. Fill in blanks.

0.26, 0.18, 0.18, 0.16 0.13, 0.24
0.29, 0.24, 0.14, 0.16, 0.10, 0.16

The mean is:________________. The median is: _____________. The mode(s) is (are): _______________

Answer 1

The mean is 0.19 (originally 0.18666667)
The median is 0.25
The mode is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:
You find the mean by adding all of the numbers given then divide them by the number of variables given. Ex. The sum of all those numbers is 2.24, then divide that by 12, because when you count them it’s 12 numbers. So you get a big number, and you can round it to 0.19.

You find the median by putting the numbers in order from least to greatest and taking one from left then one from right until you get to the number(s) I’m the middle with a even number of variables marked off on both sides. (Sorry bad explanation )

You find the mode by figuring out how many times numbers are repeated, and the one repeated the most is your answer. Ex. There’s 1 0.26, 2 0.18, 3 0.16, 1 1.13, 2 0.24, 1 0.29, 1 0.14, 1 0.10. There’s more 0.16’s than any of them, so your answers 0.16.

Really hope this helps and you can actually understand my explanation
