Answer:Mean = 8.7

Median= 8.8

Mode=Nil

Yes, they are the best measure to describe the data.

Explanation:

Mean, otherwise known as average= total sum of data set/ number of data set

=45.8/5= 8.76

Median- the mid point data in a given set. We rearranged the data set in an ascending order to get the best measure. Median is 8.8

Mode- the most reoccurring number in a given data. For this data set, however, mode is not applicable as all each data value appears once
