Concept explainers
To evaluate the examples of mean, median and mode.
Answer to Problem 8SGR
Example for mean is 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
Example for median is 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20
Example for mode is,
Chocolate | 12 |
Ice cream | 13 |
Custard | 4 |
Cake | 20 |
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mean, median and mode.
For mean, the mean is best for data which are not skewed.
Hence example for a data set for mean is,
10, 15, 20, 25, 30
For median, the median is best for grouped data.
Hence example for a data set for median is,
1,5,6,7,8,20
For mode, the mode is best for data where highest frequency is to be found and each value is unique.
Hence, example for a data set for mode is,
Chocolate | 12 |
Ice cream | 13 |
Custard | 4 |
Cake | 20 |
