question #1
a set of data has the following frequency distribution. which measure of center should be used to describe the center of the data?
mean
median
mode
range
The mean is sensitive to extreme values but is appropriate for symmetric distributions. The median is less affected by outliers and good for skewed data. The mode is the most frequent value. The range is a measure of spread, not central tendency. The given histogram appears relatively symmetric (not highly skewed), so the mean is a suitable measure of center as it takes all data points into account and is appropriate for symmetric - like distributions.
