Concept explainers
(a)
The value of mean, median and mode of the data set.
(a)
Answer to Problem 8E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data set is:
Calculation:
The value of mean will be:
The value of median will be:
Order the given data set and get the middle value.
The ordered set will be:
Hence,
The value of mode will be:
Get the most occurring value. Hence,
(b)
The measure of center describing the data set in the most efficient way.
(b)
Answer to Problem 8E
Median
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data set is:
Calculation:
The data is skewed and asymmetrical, median will be preferred in representing the data. The mean is greater than most of the data and mode is less than most of the data. Hence, median will represent this data.

The growth of bacteria in food products makes it necessary to time-date some products (such as milk) so that they will be sold and consumed before the bacteria count is too high. Suppose for a certain product that the number of bacteria present is given by f(t)=5000.1 Under certain storage conditions, where t is time in days after packing of the product and the value of f(t) is in millions. The solution to word problems should always be given in a complete sentence, with appropriate units, in the context of the problem. (a) If the product cannot be safely eaten after the bacteria count reaches 3000 million, how long will this take? (b) If t=0 corresponds to January 1, what date should be placed on the product?arrow_forward
