Question

A student wants to report on the number of meals his friends buy each week. The collected data are below:

4, 19, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4

Which measure of center is most appropriate for this situation and what is its value? (2 points)


Mean; 3
Mean; 5
Median; 3
Median; 5

Answer 1

Median 5

Explanation:

Because to find the median you add all the sets of numbers and divide by the number of data given. For this question, if we add 4,19,3,3,2,3,2,and, 4 we will get 40. And then, we count the number of values we have which is 8. If we divide 40 by 8 it gives us 5. That means our median is 5, not 2.

SOLUTION

4+19+3+3+2+3+2+4=40 (YOU COULD USE A CALCULATOR).

To find a median: 40/8=5

Therefore the answer to this question is median 5

Hope this helped. Have a great day.
