For skewed data displays, the median is often a better estimate of the center of distribution than the mean because the former is unaffected by large numbers.

<h3>What is mean?</h3>

Mean refers to the average of set of two or more numbers.

Mean of a set having 'n'  numbers = \frac{Sum Of 'n' Numbers}{n}

<h3>What is median?</h3>

Median refers to the middle-most value of a list of numbers, arranged either in ascending or descending order.

Median = \left \{ {{\frac{n}{2}^{th}  term, if n = even } \atop( (\frac{n-1}{2}+\frac{n+1}{2})/2)^{th} term, if n = odd   }} \right.

Now,

  • Since it takes the average of all the values in the data set, the mean is the most widely used measure of central tendency.
  • Because it is unaffected by exceptionally big numbers, the median performs better than the mean when analyzing data from skewed distributions.

Hence, For skewed data displays, the median is often a better estimate of the center of distribution than the mean.

120% of x is equal to 78.
Degger [83]

Answer:

A. 1.2x = 78

B. x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Just informally, first:

x is the number that we don't know. 120% of that number is a number BIGGER than that number. 120% of x is 78. So 78 is BIGGER than the number that we don't know.

120% of x = 78

Change 120% to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. Multiply.

1.2x = 78

To solve, divide both sides by 1.2

x = 78/1.2

x = 65
