Answer

a. mean = 29.85 median = 29.5 mode = 24,26,37,38 b. 15% trimmed mean = 29.857

Work Step by Step

mean = $(19+20+22+23+24+24+26+26+28+29+30+32+33+34+35+37+37+38+38+42)/20 = 29.85$ median = $(10th + 11th) / 2 = (29+30)/2 = 29.5$ 15% trimmed mean, we remove 3 data from both ends and get 23,24,24,26,26,28,29,30,32,33,34,35,37,37 $trimmed \ mean =(23+24+24+26+26+28+29+30+32+33+34+35+37+37)/14 = 29.857$
