7. THE MODE - If a data set has only one value that occurs with greatest frequency is said to be UNIMODAL -If a data set has two values that occur with the same greatest frequency is said to be BIMODAL -If a data set has more than two values that occur with the same greatest frequency, each value is used as the mode, and the data set is said to be MULTIMODAL -When no data value occurs more than once, the data set is said to have NO MODE

Based on statistics, does it appear that the average sales per day for A is about the same as that for B? Explain. B- Find the sample median for each franchise. Based on statistics, does it appear that the average sales per day for A is about the same as that for B? Explain.

12. A customer in a supermarket selected 6 cartons of eggs (each containing a dozen) from a large display. The egg-filled cartons weighed 25.9, 27.8, 25.8, 26.1, 23.5, and 45.4 ounces respectively. a-) Find the mean weight of these cartons. b-) Find the median weight of these cartons. c-) Is the mean a good average in this exercise?

13. Five lightbulbs burned out after lasting, respectively, for 867, 849, 840, 852, and 822 hours of continuous use. Find the mean and also determine what the mean would have been if the second value had been recorded incorrectly as 489 instead of 849.

14. Properties of the Mean 1- The Mean can be calculated for any set of NUMERICAL Data 2- The Mean is unique and unambiguous value. 3- The means of several sets of data can always be combined into the overall mean of all the data. 4- If each value in a sample were replaced by the mean, then ∑X would remain unchanged 5- The mean takes into account the value of each item in a set of data. 6- The mean is relatively reliable in the sense that means of many samples drawn from the same population generally do not fluctuate, or vary, as widely as other statistics used to estimate the mean of a population.

15. Properties of the Median In addition to the properties of the Mean; 1- It splits the data into two parts 2- The median is preferable to the mean because it is not so easily affected by extreme values.

16. Problem: Imagine that four classes in Math 119 course obtained the following mean scores on the final examination; 75, 78, 72 and 80. Q: Could you sum these four means together and divide by 4 to obtain an overall mean for all of the four classes? A: This could be done only if the n (the number of students) in each class is identical What if; First Class = 30 students Second Class= 40 students Third Class= 25 students Fourth Class= 50 students Then the weighted mean is =?
