Question

Suppose you have opened some Nutty Bars to check the company’s claim of an “average” of 8 peanuts per bar. Here is what you found after opening 10 bars: 5, 8, 8, 8, 11, 7, 8, 6, 6, and 6. Which average should the company use to support their claim?

Answer 1

The company should use the median to support their claims.

Which measure of average should the company use?

Measures of average commonly used are mean and median.

Mean is the sum of the numbers divided by the total number

Mean : (5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 11) / 10 = 7.3

Median is the number at the center of the dataset when it is arranged either in ascending or descending order.

Median = 8
