The following datarepresents the weight lifted (in lbs) by a sample of 14 cyclists:
244 191 160 187 180 176 174
205 211 183 211 180 194 200
A. Calculate the meanand medianof this sample.
B. If the first sample should have been read as 204 instead of 244 how will that impact the mean and median?
Part A
The mean is calculated by summing up all the terms and dividing by the number of terms.
Sum of all the terms = …
This solution analyzes how to calculate the mean and median of a sample. The solution also analyzes how the mean and median change when one data point is revised.
