Step 1

Given:

The time needed in minutes for students are as follows

26, 28, 32, 39, 10, 31, 47, 50

Step 2

a)

Arranging the data in ascending order

10, 26, 28, 31, 32, 39, 47, 50

Minimum value = 10

Maximum value = 50

Range = maximum- minimum 

Range = 50 - 10

Range = 40

Mid range is the mean of the maximum and minimum value

So, mid range = 50+102=30

Total number of observations in the data set = 8

Median =

 n+12thterm8+12thterm4.5thterm4th term +0.5×5th-4thterm31+0.5×32-31=31.5
