DISCUSSION 3.1 “DATA MANAGEMENT”
Problem: Renato found out that he delivered 20, 26, 40, 39, 25, 36 and 34 food
and items last week. Describe the data using:
1. MEAN
𝑥̅ = ∑𝑥 = 20+26+40+39+25+36+34 = 220
n 7 7
𝑥̅ = 31.43 The mean of 31.43 tells us that the next data could be around 31.43.
2. MEDIAN
3. MODE
̂ = no mode
𝒙 there is no modal value.
