What is the mean, median, and mode for Alexander's data? for William's data? 4. Alexander added one more week to his data. The median of all of his data is now 87.4, rounded to the nearest tenth. What was the new temperature value that Alexander added to the data? 6. William calculated the median to be 31, however he forgot to include one number when calculating the median. Which number did William forget? 8. What is the variance and standard deviation of William's data? 10. If you could spend the next month in either city, whom would you want to visit? Why?
