Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. .

Data set = 2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 2, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 5

We have to arrange them in the ascending order -

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5

Average = Sum of all observations/Total observations

Median = Middle value =  Average of 2 and 2 = (2 + 2)/2 = 2

Mode = Highest frequency number = 2

Range = Highest value - least value = 5 - 1= 4

Average = (2 + 2 + 4)/3 = 8/3 = 2 2/3
