The numbers of words defined on randomly selected pages from a dictionary are shown below. Find the mean, median, and mode of the listed numbers. 48 46 42 45 52 62 36 77 73 61 What is the mean? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice.

- no mode

- the median is 50

- the mean is 54.2

Step-by-step explanation:

- When the data set has numbers listed that repeat, that would be the mode.

However, if there is more than one number that is repeated, the number that is repeated the most, then that number would be the mode.

- The mean is the average of the numbers in the data set.

You add up all the numbers, then divide them by how many numbers are listed in the data set to get the answer.

36, 42, 45, 46, 48, 52, 61, 62, 73, 77     542 / 10 = 54.2

- List each number in the data set in order from least to greatest, if there is an uneven amount of numbers, the middle number would be the median.

However, if the data set has an even amount of numbers listed, you take the two middle numbers, add them up, then divide by two:

48 + 52 = 100   100 / 2 = 50
