3. Find the mode.
4. Find the median.
5. Find the mean.
6. Which measure provides the most accurate measure of central tendency for the number of homicides? (Write this answer in the Word document.)
7. The number of prior arrests for a group of individuals at their parole hearings are as follows: 1, 3, 3, 2, 1, 8, 5. Compute the following: (a) range, (b) variance, and (c) standard deviation.
8. In order to examine whether precincts need more sworn officers, you have collected data on the total number of hours of overtime per week worked by police officers in two precincts for a period of 8 weeks. The table shows the data.

Considering both concepts of central tendency and variability find the following:

1. Which precinct tended to work more overtime?
2. Which precinct tended to be more consistent in the number of hours of overtime work?
