A survey of 8 adults employed full-time was taken. Here are their reported numbers of hours worked per week.

Given:
44, 41, 41, 53, 59, 56, 56, 43.
a) To find the mean:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}} \\ =\frac{393}{8} \\ =49.125 \\ \approx49.1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the mean is 49.1 (Rounded to one decimal place).
b) To find the median:
Let us write the data in ascending order.
41, 41, 43, 44, 53, 56, 56, 59
Hence, the median is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{44+53}{2}=\frac{97}{2} \\ =48.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the median is 48.5.
c) To find the mode:
We know that,
The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values.
Here, the given data set has two modes.
They are 41 and 56.
