Required:
a. Find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.
b. Which measure or measures of central tendency are most appropriate for this data set?
c. Do the measures of central tendency agree?

Mean = 587

Median = 585

Mode = 590

Standard deviation = 112.538

The mean and the median

Yes, both mean and median have close values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

365, 420, 450, 460, 480, 480, 510, 520, 520, 550, 550, 560, 570, 580, 580, 590, 590, 590, 590, 600, 600, 620, 630, 660, 680, 700, 710, 775, 790, 890

The mean, m = Σx / n = 17610 / 30

Mean = 587

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

Median = 1/2(31)th term

Median = 15.5th = (580+590) / 2 = 585

The mode = 590 (observation with highest frequency, 4)

Standard deviation, s = √Σ(x-m)²/(n-1)

s = 112.538

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
