Answer to Question 1

a. Mean = 67.28, Median = 53, Mode = 41 (Note that the extreme scores, especially 250 and 300, skew the mean noticeably.)
b. Mean = 82.17, Median = 83.5, Mode= 85
c. Mean = 58.61, Median = 58, Mode= 45, 63
d. Mean = 58.43, Median = 57, Mode= All

Answer to Question 2

Data Set 1 because it has more variability (dispersion) in scores.
