Critical Thinking Consider the numbers 2 3 4 5 5

(a) Compute the mode, median, and mean.

(b) If the numbers represent codes for the colors of T-shirts ordered from a catalog, which average(s) would make sense?

(c) If the numbers represent one-way mileages for trails to different lakes, which average(s) would make sense?

(d) Suppose the numbers represent survey responses from 1 to 5, with 1 5 disagree strongly, 2 5 disagree, 3 5 agree, 4 5 agree strongly, and 5 5 agree very strongly. Which averages make sense?
