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…

Chapter 13.1, Problem 4CYU
To determine

To find: the measurement of central tendency best represents the data.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 4CYU

Mean would be the best to represent the central tendency.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The different eighth grade homerooms read 38, 45, 26, 51, 42, 38, 50, and 58 books for a reading competition.

Calculation:

Arrange the data in ascending order to measure the central tendencies.

26, 38, 38, 42, 45, 50, 51 and 58 books

Below table will help to determine the best measure of central tendency.

    Measure When to use
    Mean Data have no extreme value
    Median Data have extreme value. No big gap in the mid of the data.
    Mode Many repetitive values in the data

Since, there is no extreme value and only 2 identical numbers, so mean would be the best to represent the central tendency.
