Suppose we are interested in describing the average monthly high temperatures (℃) for 2019 in
Manila, Philippines: 29.5, 30.2, 31.9, 33.3, 33.4, 32.1, 31.2, 30.4, 30.6, 30.9, 30.5, 29.6. (Note:
Since 2019 is the year of interest, these 12 values already comprise the population of interest.)
Find the following and interpret: mean, median, mode, first quartile, and third quartile.
Note: First use a stem-and-leaf display to organize these temperatures. Follow the guide below.

= 31.13°𝐶
Interpretation: Most temperatures were close to 31.13°𝐶

2. 𝑃𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 2
= 30.75°𝐶
Interpretation: The average temperature in the middle of the year is 30.75°𝐶

3. No, because there is no frequent values given.
