A charity needs to report its typical donations received. The following is a list of the donations from one week. A histogram is provided to display the data.
1, 1, 6, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20
A graph titled Donations to Charity in Dollars. The x-axis is labeled 1 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 to 15, and 16 to 20. The y-axis is labeled Frequency. There is a shaded bar up to 2 above 1 to 5, up to 3 above 6 to 10, up to 4 above 11 to 15, and up to 6 above 16 to 20.
Which measure of center should the charity use to accurately represent the data? Explain your answer.
The median of 14 is the most accurate to use, since the data is skewed.
The mean of 13.2 is the most accurate to use, since the data is skewed.
The median of 13.2 is the most accurate to use to show that they need more money.
The mean of 14 is the most accurate to use to show that they have plenty of money.
