Answer:
Explanation:
If I found the mean, the answer would be:
3+ 4+4+4+5+6+7+23= 56
56/ 8 = 7
If I found the average value using the median, the answer would be 4.5.
In this set of data, the anomaly is 23 as it is much higher than the other numbers.
The median is more accurate because it find the more ‘central’ number and is not affected as greatly with anomalies whereas the mean is affected greatly with anomalies as it raises the value significantly.
Therefore, the median is better to work out the average in this set of data.
