Question

5). I played in the NFL for a season. I scored 7 touchdowns in one game; 2 in anothergame; 0 in another game; 2 in another game; 10 in another game; and 20touchdowns in my final game (well cause I was that good); ) What would be the bestmeasure of center for use as a predictor for my next season?is it Standard DeviationModeMeanMedian

Answer 1

Data: 7, 2, 0, 2, 10, 20

The standard deviation is not a measure of center.

I would use the mean because it considers all data. The mean for this case is:

(7 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 10 + 20)/6 = 6.83

The mode is 2 and the median is (2+7)/2 = 4.5. These figures don't give the importance that the two best games have.
