Question

What measure of center best represents the data set? Drag and drop the correct answer into the box. Data Set Best Measure of Center {27, 29, 26, 28, 25} mean onlymedian onlymode onlymean or median

Answer 1

Mean or Median.

Explanation:

The mean and the median are both equal to 27.

Therefore the answer is,

mean or median.

Answer 2

Hence, Mean or median best represents the center of data.

Explanation:

We know that the median is said to be the central tendency of the data.

We are given a data set as:

{27, 29, 26, 28, 25}

Clearly these are 5 data points.

on arranging the data in the increasing order or ascending order we get:

25 26 27 28 29

The median of data is the middle value of the data.

Hence, here we get Median= 27

So, the mean of the data is calculated as the ratio of sum of all the data points to the number of data points.

so,

`Mean=(25+26+27+28+29)/(5)\\\\Mean=(135)/(5)\\\\Mean=27`

hence, we get Mean=Median.

Hence, Mean or median best represents the center of data as both are equal.
