Answer

I did a phenomenal job of meeting these objectives, if I do say so myself. I found Objectives #5 and #6 slightly more challenging and intend to practice frequency distribution skew and weighted means more.

Work Step by Step

The chapter objectives were: 1. Find the mean, median, and mode of a simple frequency distribution 2. Determine whether a measure of central tendency is a statistic or a parameter 3. Detect bimodal distributions 4. Determine the central tendency measure that is most appropriate for a set of data 5. Estimate the direction of skew of a frequency distribution from the relationship of the mean to the median 6. Calculate a weighted mean
