EASY QUESTION


Which measure of central tendency best describes the data set below?


{0, 80, 85, 88, 90, 95}

A. the mean, 73
B. the mode, none
C. the range, 95
D. the median, 86.5

Respuesta :

The correct answer would be D, the median 86.5.

In this set of data most of the values are in the 80's or 90's. There is only 1 number that is outside of this range, that is the value 0. It is an outlier.
