The American Diabetes Association recommends a blood glucose
The American Diabetes Association recommends a blood glucose reading of less than 130 for those with Type 2 diabetes. Blood glucose measures the amount of sugar in the blood. The readings for February for a person recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes can be found in the file “Glucose readings”. Using that data, answer the following questions. Note: You should copy this data into the file that you plan to submit to the Course Den dropbox. Only one Excel can be submitted to Course Den. a) What is the arithmetic mean glucose reading? b) What is the median glucose reading? c) What is the modal glucose reading?
