MEAN

To compute the mean, we sum up all the values and divide by the total number of
values.

For the breathing chamber with high concentrations of carbon dioxide: Mean = (30 + 45
+ 26 + 25 + 34 + 51 + 46 + 32 + 30) / 9 = 319 / 9 = 35.44 breaths per minute

For the breathing chamber without high concentrations of carbon dioxide: Mean = (30 +
40 + 25 + 23 + 30 + 49 + 41 + 30 + 28) / 9 = 296 / 9 = 32.89 breaths per minute

MEDIAN

With CO

1. Arrange the breathing frequency data in ascending order: 25, 26, 30, 30, 32, 34,
45, 46, 51.
2. The middle value is 32.
Without CO

1. Arrange the breathing frequency data in ascending order: 23, 25, 28, 30, 30, 30,
40, 41, 49.
2. The middle value is 30.

MODE

With CO

● The breathing frequency values are: 30, 45, 26, 25, 34, 51, 46, 32, 30.
● The value that occurs most frequently is 30, which appears twice.
● The mode is 30.

Without CO

● The breathing frequency values are: 30, 40, 25, 23, 30, 49, 41, 30, 28.
● The value that occurs most frequently is 30, which appears three times.
● The mode is 30.

RANGE

With CO

● The highest value is 51

● The lowest value is 25
● The range is 51 - 25 = 26

Without CO

● The highest value is 49

● The lowest value is 23
● The range is 49 - 23 = 26
