Answer

a. mean = $132.55$ median = $(10th+11th)/2 = (134+136)/2=135$ mode = $144$ b. 10% trimmed mean = $132.688$

Work Step by Step

a. mean = $(107+109+111+113+116+121+126+127+132+134+136+138+139+141+144+144+150+151+153+159)/20 = 132.55$ 10% trimmed mean, we remove 2 values from both ends and get $111,113,116,121,126,127,132,134,136,138,139,141,144,144,150,151$ trimmed mean = $(111+113+116+121+126+127+132+134+136+138+139+141+144+144+150+151)/16=132.688$
