Solution
Solution Steps
To find the midrange of a data set, you need to identify the smallest and largest values in the set. The midrange is then calculated as the average of these two values. This involves adding the smallest and largest numbers together and dividing the sum by 2.
Step 1: Identify the Data Set
The given data set is:
\[
\begin{array}{rrr}
17 & 14 & 15 \\
21 & 104 & 21 \\
11 & 13 & 19 \\
13 & 17 & 14 \\
17 & 19 & 15
\end{array}
\]
When flattened, the data set becomes:
\[
\{17, 14, 15, 21, 104, 21, 11, 13, 19, 13, 17, 14, 17, 19, 15\}
\]
Step 2: Find Minimum and Maximum Values
The minimum value \( \text{min} = 11 \) and the maximum value \( \text{max} = 104 \).
Step 3: Calculate the Midrange
The midrange is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Midrange} = \frac{\text{min} + \text{max}}{2} = \frac{11 + 104}{2} = \frac{115}{2} = 57.5
\]
