Question

the bowling scores for six people are: 27, 142, 145, 146, 154, 162 what is the most appropriate measure of center?

Answer 1

It represents the "average" score. If each golfer had scored the same, they each would have scored the mean.
Please tell me if this helps

Answer 2

Median.

Explanation:

We have been given the bowling scores for six people as: 27, 142, 145, 146, 154, 162. We are asked to find the most appropriate measure of center.

We can see that 27 is very small value than other values, so it is the outlier of our given data.

Our given data set will have a long tail to left side, so our given data is skewed to left.

We know that mean of a left skewed data is less than median and median is less affected by outliers, therefore, median will be the measure of center for our given data,
