Question

In Margaritte's sociology discussion group, five of the six students are between the ages of 19 and 23; the sixth student is 54 years old. If Margaritte wants to report the statistic that best represents the "average" age for her discussion group, she should report either...

Answer 1

Mode or the median

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the case of Margaritte's sociology group data, the best representation of the 'average' age for the group discussion can be done by either median of the group data or its mode.

Median of the data can be defined as when we arrange the data in the ascending order then the middle term of that data represents the median.

Mode of the data is the most frequently occurring term in the data.

Both these values are the central tendencies of the data.
