Mode of raw data: 1

1 is the most repeated number of votes

Median of raw data: 3

The number of votes in order from least to greatest is:

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,11. Number 3 is in the middle making it the
median.

Mean of raw data: 4

The mean of 4 is obtained by diving 100 (the sum of votes) by 25 (the number of flavors).
 Analyzing the Bell Graph

One standard
Deviation

Two standard Deviations

Three standard Deviations

For the Bell Curve, the raw data was standardized using the formula:

68-95-99.7% Rule:
Mode can be found within two standard deviations.

Median can be found within one standard deviation.

Mean can be found within one standard deviation. The mean in Standardized Normal Distribution is 0.
