The median, because the data is not symmetric and there are outliers is the data is not symmetric and there are outliers.

The median of the data set is 8 cakes, while the average is 7.5.

However, 21 of the 31 chefs, or roughly 2/3, made 8 or more cakes. This makes the median a better center for this data, since the data is clearly skewed. The four chefs that made 1 cake each brings the average down, skewing the mean and making the median a better representation of the data.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Median; because the data is not symmetric and there are outliers.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that a median is a central tendency of a data and it best represents the given data set.

From the given information we see that the data is skewed to the right since most of the data points takes the higher value and the data is not symmetric as it is skewed.

       Hence, last option is the correct answer.

The width of rectangle A is the sum of twice a number and 8. The length of the rectangle is 3 times as great as the width. If th
Galina-37 [17]
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.
