Question

type the correct answer in each box. spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).

the data set gives the number of bottles filled by each of the workers in a bottling plant in one day.

\\{36, 18, 16, 28, 68, 35, 37, 66, 38, 40, 41, 44, 72, 29\\}

the best measure of center for this data set is the , and its value expressed up to one decimal place is .

Explanation:

Sort the data set and identify outliers

$$ \{16, 18, 28, 29, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 44, 66, 68, 72\} $$

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Since \(68\) and \(72\) are greater than \(66.5\), the data set contains outliers. Therefore, the median is the best measure of center.

Calculate the median of the data set

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

The data set gives the number of bottles filled by each of the workers in a bottling plant in one day.

\(\{36, 18, 16, 28, 68, 35, 37, 66, 38, 40, 41, 44, 72, 29\}\)

The best measure of center for this data set is the <blank>median</blank>, and its value expressed up to one decimal place is <blank>37.5</blank>.
