In Exercises 13 and 14 find the mean the median and the mode

In Exercises 13 and 14, find the mean, the median, and the mode of the data, if possible. If any measure cannot be found or does not represent the center of the data, explain why. 13. The vertical jumps (in inches) of a sample of 10 college basketball players at the 2012 NBA Draft Combine (Source: Draft Express) 24.5 29.5 32.5 28.0 28.5 25.5 34.0 24.5 30.0 31.0 14. The responses of 1009 adults who were asked whether they would vote for or against a law that would allow undocumented immigrants living in the United States the chance to become legal residents or citizens if they meet certain requirements (Adapted from Gallup) Vote for: 734 Vote against: 255 No opinion: 20

Solution

vote for = 734

vote against = 255

no opinion = 20

here,

we can not find out mean and median because this data is not in form of nominal scale. This data is on ordinal scale.

In ordinal scale we can find out mode that is vote for(734).
