Question

Mark consumes 1/2, 2/6, 4/12, 1/3, 2/4 grams of pizza in a week. Find the mean, median, mode and range?

Answer 1

Rickie,

 

The consumption of pizza is 1/2, 2/6, 4/12, 1/2, and 2/4 grams

 

The fractions can be simplified to 1/2, 1/3, 1/3, 1/2, and 1/2

 

Mean is the average or the sum/number = (1/2+1/3+1/3+1/2+1/2)/5

 

= (13/6)/5 = 13/30

 

Median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order, in this case it is 1/2

 

Mode is the value that appears most number of times, in this case it is 1/2 as it appears 3 times

 

Range is Maximum value - Minimum value or 1/2-1/3 = 1/6
