Population Stats 85Cf34
1. **Problem:** Compute the population mean, median, and mode for the first ungrouped data set given.
2. **Formula and rules:**
- Mean: $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$ where $x_i$ are data points and $n$ is the number of data points.
- Median: The middle value when data is ordered. If $n$ is odd, median is the middle value; if even, average of two middle values.
- Mode: The value that appears most frequently.
3. **Data:** Population (x) = [12, 56, 34, 7, 32, 45, 15, 38, 23]
4. **Calculate Mean:**
$$\sum x = 12 + 56 + 34 + 7 + 32 + 45 + 15 + 38 + 23 = 262$$
Number of data points $n = 9$
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{262}{9} \approx 29.11$$
5. **Calculate Median:**
Sort data: [7, 12, 15, 23, 32, 34, 38, 45, 56]
Middle value (5th) is 32
$$\text{Median} = 32$$
6. **Calculate Mode:**
All values appear once, so no mode or all values are modes. Here, no repeated value, so no mode.
**Final answers:**
- Mean $\approx 29.11$
- Median $= 32$
- Mode $= \text{None}$
