1) The students of Hugh Logan's math class took the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Their math scores are shown below. Find the mean score.

552 593 358 352 537
349 357 596 470 482

$116,000 $111,000 $791,000 $240,000 $178,000
Median is the middle number when you order the entries from smallest to largest; in this case since there is an even number of entries, it is the average of the two middle ones: ($163,000+$178,000)/2 = $170,500

3) Find the mode(s) for the given sample data.

20, 43, 46, 43, 49, 43, 49
