Question

Find the median and mean of the data. Which reflects the best measure of the center?

43, 38, 37, 57, 57, 58, 45

Answer 1

The answer for median is 44 and the mode is 57

Explanation:

For the median you would put them in order from least to greatest (37,38,43,45,57,57) than you would find the middle number(s) so like cross of 37 and 57 from the least to greatest and than cross of 38 and 57 (37),(38),(43,45,)(57),(57), first cross of 37 and 57 and than cross of 38 and 57) and the only numbers you have left are 43 and 45. Add 43+45 and divide it by two and you get 44. 43+45= 88 divided by 2= 44.

To find the mode you would see which number appears the most in this case it would be 57.

I hope this makes sense and I hope I helped!
