This problem says what does 42 represent in the data set, and the data set we're given is 48, 40, 52, 42, and 40.
00:08
And when we're trying to figure out what 42 would represent as far as a description of a data set, sometimes it could be the mean, sometimes it could be the median, sometimes it could be the mode.
00:17
So for a handful of these, it will help to get our data set in order from least to greatest.
00:21
So that's what i'll do first.
00:22
The lowest value we have is 40, and that occurs twice.
00:26
So 40, 40, and then our next value is 42.
00:30
And then we have 48.
00:32
And then lastly, 52.
00:34
So that lists all of our values.
00:36
And if we wanted to find the mean to see if that matches up with 42, our mean would add up all of our values, which would be 222...
