Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Answer to Problem 3CYU

Median describes the center of miles per gallon ratings for cars from all round the world.

Explanation of Solution

Given: Miles per gallon ratings for cars from all round the world.

Concept Used: Comparison of mean, median and mode.

Median is best way to measure the centers of any grouped data. Unlike mean, median is not affected by a highly skewed data and unlike mode median cannot given two values. Hence, median is best to measure the centers of miles per gallon ratings for the cars from all around the world.

Conclusion:

Median describes the center of miles per gallon ratings for cars from all round the world.
