Question

Find the measure of center that best represents each set of data. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Number of parking spaces used: 46, 39, 40, 45, 44, 68, 51

Answer 1

The measure of center that best represents each set of the data is the MEAN.

The Mean of the set of data is 47.6

Explanation:

The measure of center we would be using to represent the given set of data above is the Mean.

We are using the Mean because there is the absence of an outliers in the given set of data above. An outlier is a value amongst the given set of data that higher or lower than the numbers present in the data.

Therefore, the Mean of the Set of data above is calculated as:

(46+ 39+ 40+ 45+ 44+ 68+ 51) ÷ 7

333 ÷ 7 = 47.6
