1. **State the problem:** Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range for the data set: 10, 13, 11, 16, 21, 19, 15, 10, 16, 18, 19, 13, 13, 17, 17.
2. **Mean:** The mean is the average of all numbers. Formula: $$\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all data points}}{\text{Number of data points}}$$
Calculate sum: $$10 + 13 + 11 + 16 + 21 + 19 + 15 + 10 + 16 + 18 + 19 + 13 + 13 + 17 + 17 = 244$$
Number of data points: 15
Calculate mean: $$\frac{244}{15} = 16.27$$ (rounded to two decimals)
3. **Median:** The median is the middle value when data is ordered.
Order data: 10, 10, 11, 13, 13, 13, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 19, 19, 21
Since 15 data points, median is the 8th value: 16
4. **Mode:** The mode is the most frequent value(s).
Count frequencies: 10(2), 11(1), 13(3), 15(1), 16(2), 17(2), 18(1), 19(2), 21(1)
Mode is 13 because it appears 3 times.
5. **Range:** The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.
Max = 21, Min = 10
Range = $$21 - 10 = 11$$
**Final answers:**
- Mean = 16.27
- Median = 16
- Mode = 13
- Range = 11
