A group of statistics students in Oxnard College recorded the amount of rain during 2016-2017 school year, measuring the intensity by the inches of rain, and the results were: Daily Rain Amounts Inches of Rain 1 2 3 4 5 6 Frequency 7 6 6 3 2 1 The mean rain intensity: ________inches (Please show your answer to 1 decimal place.) The median rain intensity: _______inches The mode rain intensity: _______inches Please separate your answers by a comma if there is more than one mode.

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
