Answer

- The mean, obtained by adding all observations and dividing with the number of observations is $40.4$ percent. - The median, representing the observation under which we find $ 50\%$ of the observations, is $40$ percent. - The mode, that is, the observation appearing the most number of times in the dataset, is $40$ percent.

Work Step by Step

Recall that we imported the dataset file into our spreadsheet calculator. We now invoke the descriptive statistics feature of the Data Analysis add-on for another column of data, as illustrated in the screen snip below. The information we obtain is: - The mean, obtained by adding all observations and dividing with the number of observations is $40.4$ percent. - The median, representing the observation under which we find $ 50\%$ of the observations, is $40$ percent. - The mode, that is, the observation appearing the most number of times in the dataset, is $40$ percent.
