-49

$548

$63

$465

$115

Explanation / Answer

1) in the given data $115, $548, $222, $580, $359, $285, $317, $492

Minimum=$115 Maximum=$580 Range = Maximum-minimum = 580-115 = $465

2) Given data 17 22 39 58 67 69 85

Since it is in ascending order, median = 4th observation = 580F

9) In the given data 42.7, 41.5, 41.4 repeated 3 times each

Mode of the data - 42.7, 41.5, 41.4

23) In the given data -45 repeated 3 times

Mode=-45
