Example 3.1.6 contains the six cats’ weights, in pounds 6.8 8.2 7.5 9.4 8.2 6.3 STEPS : copy-paste special-transposed result: 6.8 8.2 7.5 9.4 8.2 6.3 after that, select all the items and click "data", then "sort range" --> Sort Range by A-Z it will automatically arrange your data from smallest to largest! (taught by One Dollar) Finding MEAN, MODE, MEDIAN: MEAN: input: AVERAGE (variable#:variable#) 6.3 6.8 7.5 8.2 8.2 9.4 AVERAGE 6.3 6.8 7.5 8.2 8.2 9.4 7.733333333 MEAN = 7.733333333 MEDIAN: There are 6 data points so the middle of the list would be between ...
