Given
average annual total returns for 9 mutual funds.
-9, 23, 12, 4, 11, 5, 36, 7, 31
Find
a) Mean
b) Median
c) Mode
Explanation
a) Mean = sum of observations/ total number of observation
so ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{-9+23+12+4+11+5+36+7+31}{9} \\ \\ mean=\frac{120}{9} \\ \\ mean=13.33333\approx13.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]to find median , we need to arrange in ascending order :
-9 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 23 , 31 , 37
there are 9 entries which is an odd number
so , median = (n+1/2)th term
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{9+1}{2} \\ \frac{10th}{2} \\ 5th \end{gathered}[/tex]so , median = 11
there is no mode because no term is repeating.
Final Answer
Hence ,
mean = 13.3
median = 11
mode - zero mode
