Listed below are the measured radiation emissions (in W/kg) corresonding to cell phones. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K respectively. The media often present reports about the dangers of cell phone radiation as a cause of cancer. Cell phone radiation must be 1.6W/kg or less. Find the a. mean, b. median, c. midrange, d. mode for the data. Also complete part e.
0.49 1.14 0.99 0.81 0.73 0.41 1.21 0.65 1.25 0.91 0.24.
a. Find the mean. The mean is ? (Round to three decimal places.
b. Find the median. The median is ? (Type an integer or a decimal).
c. Find the midrange. The midrange is ? (Type an integer or a decimal).
d. Find the mode. Select the correct choice below.
a. The mode(s) is (are)? (Use a comma to separate answers as needed)
b. There is no mode.
e. If you are planning to purchase a cell phone, are any of the measures of center the most important statistic? Is there another statistic that is most relevant? If so, which one ?
a. The midpoint of the data set is the most important statistic because cell phones that have values close to it have the safest emissions.
b. The minimum data value is the most relevant statistic, because it is closest to the limit of 1.6W/kg and that cell phone should be purchased.
c. The mean of the data set is the most important statistic because cell phones that have values close to it have the safest emissions.
d. The maximum data value is the most relevant statistic, because it is closest to the limit of 1.6W/kg and that cell phone should be avoided.
