Solution

The mean for the given sampled data is diven by,

259.8

The median for the sampled data is given by,

244.5

The mode lies between two values 208 and 241,we take the average of this two values which is given by,

224.5

Midrange is the arithmetic mean between the maximun and minimum value

The midrange is given by, (208+453)/2 =330.5
