Explanation:
12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12
13 13 13 13 14 14 14 14 15 15
15 15 15 15 16 16 16 16 17 17
17 17 17 18 18 18 19 19 20 20
Since there are a(n) even (odd, even number of values we add the middle two divide by 2 to get the median. What is the median credit hour load ?
Median=15+15/2
= 15
What is the mode of this distribution? Is it different from the median Mode = 12
yes it's different from the median
You budget committee is going to fund the college according to the average student de hour ad more money for higher loads), which of these two averages do you think the college will report?
Since the Median is higher, the college will probably report it and indicate that the average being used is median.
