Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a data set:

0.24  0.42  0.37  0.38  0.24

We arrange them in ascending order:

0.24 0.24 0.37 0.38 0.42

Mean=sum of all data elements/number of elements

Mean =(0.24+0.24+0.37+0.38+0.42)/5

Mean=0.33

Mode is the element with the highest frequency i.e. element which comes most.

Hence, Mode=0.24

Median is the middle element of the data set.

Median=0.37

Hence, correct option is:

c.

mean: 0.33, median: 0.37, mode: 0.24

Hence, best answer from the choices provided is:

C
