This list below shows the number of rides at nine different rodeos.


28, 13, 22, 25, 23, 18, 26, 25, 15, 80


The most appropriate measure of center for this data is the-


a:median because all the numbers are close to one another in value


b:mean because 80 rides is much higher than the other numbers


c:median because 80 rides is much higher than the other numbers


d:mean because all the numbers are close to one another in value

C.



80 is an outlier, and for outliers, the median is always better because if it was a a mean, the outlier (80) would affect the average.

Explanation:

because if you ask Siri what would be the best for measure of center it would be the medium and you have an outlier in your equation
