1. During a root enzyme experiment, Grace determined the dry weight of mustard roots so she could make some calculations. These were pretty small mustard plants so she had to use a good balance to get the data. She measured one set (A) of roots and obtained masses of 0.06, 0.09, 0.08, 0.05, and 0.05 grams. Another set (B) had masses of 0.1, 0.11, 0.09, 0.11, and 0.04 grams. Which set had the greatest average mass?
2. Shelby made an analysis of the hornfels in the local gneiss found at Buckthorn Butte. She analyzed the gneiss on three different occasions and obtained the three following sets of data for the percent hornfels in the gneiss: Set A = {5.4, 5.4, 5.2, 4.2, 4.1, 4.5, 5.1, 4.1, 4.1}, Set B = {5, 4.2, 4, 5, 3, 3, 5.2, 3.3, 4.5}, Set C = {5.5, 5.5, 4.6, 3.9, 3.4, 5.9, 4.5, 4.6, 3.9}. Which set of data had the greatest mode?
