Answer to Problem 2.4CYU

Center of the distribution from the given options is $13.3\%$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given options:

  $13.3\%$

  $12.8\%$

  $12.0\%$

  $11.6\%$

  $6.8\%$ to $16.8\%$

Calculation:

One can describe the center by simply finding the value which divides the observations so that about half take larger value and about half take smaller value. This value is called the median of the distribution.

There are $50$ values and the median is given by the average of $25$ th and $26$ th value which is $13.3\%$ .
