How hot does it get in Death Valley? The following data are taken from a study conducted by the National Park System, of which Death Valley is a unit. The ground temperatures (°F) were taken from May to November in the vicinity of Furnace Creek. Compute the mean, median, and mode for these ground temperatures. (Enter your answers to one decimal place.) 147 153 170 172 185 181 182 185 181 170 181 167 153 145

Mean: 169.4

Median: 171

Mode: 181

Step-by-step explanation:

I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.

145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185

We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.

The median of this set will be the middle number(s).

When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.

We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.

Hope this helped!
