Explanation

Sorted data: 13, 14, 19, 21, 29, 29, 31, 32, 42, 51, 53, 71. Mode is the most frequent value, which is 29. Median is the average of the 6th and 7th values: (29 + 31) / 2 = 30.

AI explanation

To find the median, arrange the twelve observations in ascending order: 13, 14, 19, 21, 29, 29, 31, 32, 42, 51, 53, 71. The median is the average of the 6th and 7th values, which is (29 + 31) / 2 = 30. The mode is the most frequent value, which is 29.
