1. Problem Description

Mr. Bernard drove 46, 4, 64, 50, and 56 miles on his last five trips. We need to calculate the mean, median, and mode of these distances.

2. Solution Steps

First, list the data: 46, 4, 64, 50,
5
6.
Mean: The mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
Mean=Sum of valuesNumber of valuesMean = \frac{Sum \ of \ values}{Number \ of \ values}
Mean=46+4+64+50+565Mean = \frac{46 + 4 + 64 + 50 + 56}{5}
Mean=2205Mean = \frac{220}{5}
Mean=44Mean = 44
Median: The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending order. First, sort the data: 4, 46, 50, 56,
6

4. The middle value is

5
0.
Therefore, the median is
5
0.
Mode: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set. In this case, all values appear only once.
Therefore, there is no mode.

3. Final Answer

Mean = 44
Median = 50
Mode = None
