Given that a department store is ordering the fall line of shoes.
Let's determine the statistical measurements they would use to determine the sizes they should order the most.
Let's define each of the given terms:
• Range: This can be said to be the spread of data. It is the difference between the smallest data value and the largest data value.
• Median: This is the middle data value in a data set.
• Mean: This can be said to be the average of the data.
• Mode: The mode of a data set can be said to be the data value which occurs or appears the most.
Since they are to determine the sizes they should order the most, the size should be size people would order the most.
This means if they conduct a survey, it will be the size which appear the most in the survey. This means it will be the mode.
Therefore, the statistical measurement they would use to determine the sizes they should order the most is the mode.
• ANSWER:
D. Mode
