Question

determine whether the statement is true or false. if the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. when finding the mean, it is necessary to arrange the data items in order. choose the correct answer below. a. the statement is true. b. the statement is false. to make the statement true, change \mean\ to \median\ c. the statement is false. to make the statement true, change \mean\ to \mode\ d. the statement is false. to make the statement true, change \mean\ to \median\ and add
ot\ between \is\ and
ecessary\

Explanation:

The mean is calculated by summing all data items and dividing by the number of items. Arranging data in order is not required for the mean. The median, however, requires data to be ordered. The mode is the most frequently occurring value and also does not require ordering (though it can be easier to identify in ordered data).

Answer:

B. The statement is false. To make the statement true, change "mean" to "median"
