Question
Harley surveyed his classmates about how many siblings they have and got the following data: 0, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2, 2, 9, 1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3. Name the best measure of the center of the data?
- Mean
- Median
- Mode
- Range
Hint:
First, we check for outlier(s). Then we proceed accordingly.
The correct answer is: Median
Step 1 of 1:
Given the dataset, 0, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2, 2, 9, 1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3
The data that is different from other numbers in the given set is 9.
Hence, there is an outlier present in the dataset and it is 9.
Therefore, the best measure to use is the median because the outlier, 9, does not affect the median.
Final Answer:
The right choice is-- c. Median
