Question

The stem-and-leaf plot of weights (in pounds) of carry-on luggage on a plane is shown below. Find the mean, median and mode of the data. If any measure cannot be found or does not represent the center of the data, explain why. Find the mean. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. The mean is _____. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.) There is no mean for this data set. Does the mean represent the center of the data? The mean represents the center. The mean does not represent the center because it is the largest data value. The mean does not represent the center because it is not a data value. The mean does not represent the center because it is the smallest data value. The data set has no mean because the data values are at the nominal level of measurement.

Explanation / Answer

There are 15 data values in the stem leaf plot given in the problem. Hence the median would be the 8th value.

Hence the median is 38.

Does the median represent the center of the data.
