1. **State the problem:** We need to find the mean, median, and mode of the paint orders given by the dot plot with gallons and their frequencies.
2. **List the data points and frequencies:**
- 1 gallon: 5 dots
- 2 gallons: 3 dots
- 4 gallons: 1 dot
- 5 gallons: 2 dots
- 6 gallons: 1 dot
- 7 gallons: 1 dot
- 10 gallons: 1 dot
3. **Calculate the mean:**
The mean is the sum of all values times their frequencies divided by the total number of data points.
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{(1 \times 5) + (2 \times 3) + (4 \times 1) + (5 \times 2) + (6 \times 1) + (7 \times 1) + (10 \times 1)}{5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1}$$
Calculate numerator:
$$= 5 + 6 + 4 + 10 + 6 + 7 + 10 = 48$$
Calculate denominator:
$$= 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14$$
So,
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{48}{14} = \frac{\cancel{48}}{\cancel{14}} = 3.43 \text{ (rounded to nearest hundredth)}$$
4. **Calculate the median:**
The median is the middle value when data is ordered. Total data points = 14 (even number), so median is average of 7th and 8th values.
List data in order:
1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,4,5,5,6,7,10
The 7th value is 2 and the 8th value is 2.
$$\text{Median} = \frac{2 + 2}{2} = 2$$
5. **Calculate the mode:**
The mode is the value with the highest frequency.
From frequencies:
- 1 gallon appears 5 times (highest)
So,
$$\text{Mode} = 1$$
**Final answers:**
Mean = 3.43
Median = 2
Mode = 1
Mean Median Mode 57A8Cb
