First, let’s find the mean. To get the mean, you add all the values together and then divide by the number of values. Mean = (20 + 23 + 26 + 28 + 29 + 32 + 33 + 33) / 8 = 24.25 / 8 = 27.3 Next, we find the median. Since there are 8 numbers (an even count), the median is the average of the two middle numbers in the ordered list (20, 23, 26, 28, 29, 32, 33, 33): Median = (28 + 29) / 2 = 28.5 For the mode, it's the number that appears most frequently in the dataset, which is 33 since it appears twice. Now for the standard deviation, you first calculate the variance. 1. Calculate the mean as found earlier (27.3). 2. Subtract the mean from each value, square the result, and find the average of those squares: Variance = [(20-27.3)² + (23-27.3)² + (26-27.3)² + (28-27.3)² + (29-27.3)² + (32-27.3)² + (33-27.3)² + (33-27.3)²] / 8 Variance = [53.29 + 18.49 + 1.69 + 0.49 + 2.89 + 21.16 + 31.36 + 31.36] / 8 Variance = 15.98 Finally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance: Standard Deviation = √15.98 ≈ 4.0 To summarize: Mean = 27.3 Median = 28.5 Mode = 33 Standard Deviation ≈ 4.0
