The tuition and fees (in thousands of dollars) for the top 14 universities in recent years are listed below. Find the mean, median, and mode of the data. It is possible that these measures cannot be found or the measure does not represent the center of the data. Explain why. Find the mean cost. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. The mean cost (Round to one decimal place if needed)

Find the mean, the median, and the mode of the data, if possible. If any measure cannot be found or does not represent the center of the data, explain why. The $2012-2013$ tuition and fees (in thousands of dollars) for the top 14 universities. $$\begin{array}{lllllll} 41 & 39 & 42 & 47 & 45 & 42 & 42 \\ 44 & 44 & 40 & 45 & 44 & 44 & 44 \end{array}$$
Descriptive Statistics
Measures of Central Tendency
The mean undergraduate costs for tuition, room, and board at four-year colleges are $26,489, and the standard deviation is $53,204. The undergraduate costs for tuition, room, and board are approximately normally distributed. 36 four-year colleges are selected. The probability that the sample mean cost for these 36 schools is less than $25,000 is: a. 0.00 b. 0.013 c. 0.321. The probability that the sample mean cost for these 36 schools is between $24,000 and $26,000 is: a. 0.15 b. 0.18 c. 0.22. The lowest sample mean cost for the top 10% (among these 36 schools) is: a. 25,550 b. 27,173 c. 30,595. The highest sample mean cost in the bottom 10% (among these 36 schools) is: a. 22,383 b. 25,805 c. 27,775. The middle 20% of the sample mean cost (among these 36 schools) is between: a. 25,677 and 27,300 b. 26,354 and 26,624 c. 27,229 and 28,569.

Find the mean, median, and mode of the data, if possible. If any of these measures cannot be found or a measure does not represent the center of the data, explain why. A sample of seven admission test scores for a professional school are listed below. 9.7 10.4 9.7 11.4 9.7 10.8 10.9 What is the mean score? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer box to complete your choice. A. The mean score is . (Round to one decimal place as needed.) B. There is no mean score. 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 largest data value. C. The mean does not represent the center because it is not a data value. D. The mean does not represent the center because it is the smallest data value. What is the median score? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer box to complete your choice. A. The median score is . (Round to one decimal place as needed.) B. There is no median score.
