## Data Analysis Exercise

For the data shown, answer the questions. Round to 2 decimal places. 

### Data Set:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|}
\hline
x \\
\hline
24.6 \\
9.5 \\
13.6 \\
7.5 \\
2.1 \\
23 \\
29.8 \\
7.6 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

---

### Questions:

1. **Find the mean:** 

   \[ \text{Mean} = \]

2. **Find the median:**

   \[ \text{Median} = \]

3. **Find the sample standard deviation:**

   \[ \text{Sample Standard Deviation} = \] 

---

### Explanation:
- **Mean**: The mean is the average of all the numbers in the data set. Add all the numbers together and divide by the total count of numbers.
  
- **Median**: The median is the middle number of the data set when it is ordered in ascending or descending order. If the count of numbers is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
  
- **Sample Standard Deviation**: This measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. It is calculated using the formula for the sample standard deviation.
