The number of credits being taken by a sample of 13 full-time college students are listed below. Find the mean, median, and mode of the data, if possible. If any measure cannot be found or does not represent the center of the data, explain why. 1. Find the mean. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A.The mean is B. The data set does not have a mean. 2. Does the mean represent the center of the data? A. The mean represents the center. B. The mean does not represent the center because it is the smallest data value. C. The mean does not represent the center because it is the largest data value. D. The mean does not represent the center because it is not a data value. E. The data set does not have a mean. 3. Find the median. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The median is B.The data set does not have a median. 4. Does the median represent the center of the data? A. The median represents the center. B. The median does not represent the center because it is the smallest data value. C. The median does not represent the center because it is the largest data value. D. The median does not represent the center because it is not a data value. E. The data set does not have a median. 5. Find the mode. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The mode(s) is/are B. The data set does not have a mode. 6. Does (Do) the mode(s) represent the center of the data? A. The mode(s) represent(s) the center. B. The data set does not have a mode. C. The mode(s) does (do) not represent the center because it (one) is the smallest data value. D. The mode(s) does (do) not represent the center because it (they) is (are) not a data value. E. The mode(s) does (do) not represent the center because it (one) is the largest data value.

The following scores represent the final examination grades for an elementary statistics course: $\begin{array}{lllllllll}23 & 60 & 79 & 32 & 57 & 74 & 52 & 70 & 82 \\ 36 & 80 & 77 & 81 & 95 & 41 & 65 & 92 & 85 \\ 55 & 76 & 52 & 10 & 64 & 75 & 78 & 25 & 80 \\ 98 & 81 & 67 & 41 & 71 & 83 & 54 & 64 & 72 \\ 88 & 62 & 74 & 43 & 60 & 78 & 89 & 76 & 84 \\ 48 & 84 & 90 & 15 & 79 & 34 & 67 & 17 & 82 \\ 69 & 74 & 63 & 80 & 85 & 61 & & & \end{array}$ (a) Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the examination grades in which the stems are $1,2,3, \ldots, 9$. (b) Construct a relative frequency histogram, draw an estimate of the graph of the distribution, and discuss the skewness of the distribution. (c) Compute the sample mean, sample median, and sample standard deviation.
