Question

An insurance firm reported that "the typical water-skiing accident occurs near the dock from which they start." Which of the following statistical measurements are they most likely discussing? A. median B. mode C. mean D. range

Answer 1

Answer: D. range

Explanation:

To measure the center of the tendency we use Mean , median or mode depends on the type of data.

But when we discuss about the distance between the initial point and the final point in a data , we use 'range' as term for this.

Range= distance between initial and final point.

here, range = distance between the starting point and the point where water-skiing accident occurs.

Hence, the correct option is D. range
