(Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

B. The mode number of defects is

C. There is no mode number of defects.

Explanation / Answer

a)

mean = sum/N

=54/24

=2.25

b)

The median is the numeric value separating the upper half of a sample data set from the lower half. The median of a data set can be found by arranging all the values from lowest to highest value and picking the one in the middle. If there is an odd number of data values then the median will be the value in the middle. If there is an even number of data values the median is the mean of the two data values in the middle.

median of the given data is 2

3)Mode is the value or values in the data set that occur most frequently.

mode of given data is 2
