Deaths involving COVID-19 Week 51 - mean, median and mode.
Dear National Records of Scotland,
The NRS website states that "Between 14 and 20 December, 203 deaths were registered which mentioned COVID-19 on the death certificate, a decrease of 23 deaths from the previous week." and "There were 10 more deaths registered in week 51 of 2020 compared to the five year average, which is 1% higher than the average."
What are the mean, median and mode ages of death involving COVID-19 that have been recorded for Week 51: 14th - 20th December (n=203)?
Yours faithfully,
J Grove
