(08.06) A student wants to report on the number of meals his friends buy each week. The collected data are below: 4,19,3,3,2,3,2,4. Which measure of center is most appropriate for this situation and what is its value?

Respuesta :

Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

For a group of data with one big outlier, the mean is thrown off.

Like a room of 10 people who each make $50,000 a year except for one person who makes $2 million a year. The mean average for that group would be $245,000 a year but it reflects the actual circumstance of NOBODY in the room.

The median is more refective of the 'average' in these situations.
