Determine the mean, median, and mode of the data set, if applicable. If any of these measures cannot be calculated or fail to accurately represent the data’s central tendency, provide a brief explanation.

The durations (in minutes) of seven educational podcast episodes from an online learning platform are:

$45$ , $38$ , $60$ , $52$ , $40$ , $75$ , $39$

Accepted Answer

Mean $equals 49.86$ minutes

Median $equals 45.00$ minutes

Mode $=$ none

Mean and median are valid and provide reasonable indicators of central tendency

No value is repeated, so the mode cannot be calculated

Answer

Mean $equals 49.86$ minutes

Median $equals 45.00$ minutes

Mode $=$ minutes

All measures are valid and represent central tendency

Answer

Mean $equals 49.86$ minutes

Median $equals 45.00$ minutes

Mode $=$ $60.00$ minutes

All measures are valid and represent central tendency

Answer

Mean $equals 49.86$ minutes

Median $equals 45.00$ $52.00$ minutes

Mode $equals 52.00$ minutes

All measures are valid and represent central tendency
