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.)144, 146, 149, 149, 162, 165, 165, 172, 180, 180, 180, 181, 183, 183
(a) Mean value = . (Enter your answer to two (2) decimal places.)
(b) Median = . (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)
(c) Mode =

a) mean=167.1

b)median=168.5

c)mode= 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= total sum of values in the data set/ number of values

=2339/14=167.1

Median = midpoint = 165+172/2= 337/2= 168.5

Mode= number with the highest number of frequency, for this data set, 180 occurred most because it occurred three times
