Question

What measure of center best represents the data set? Drag and drop the correct answer into the box. Data Set Best Measure of Center {27, 29, 26, 28, 25} mean onlymedian onlymode onlymean or median

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean or Median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and the median are both equal to 27.

Therefore the answer is,

mean or median.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, Mean or median best represents the center of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the median is said to be the central tendency of the data.

We are given a data set as:

{27, 29, 26, 28, 25}

Clearly these are 5 data points.

on arranging the data in the increasing order or ascending order we get:

25    26    27    28    29

The median of data is the middle value of the data.

Hence, here we get Median= 27

So, the mean of the data is calculated as the ratio of sum of all the data points to the number of data points.

so,

$Mean=\dfrac{25+26+27+28+29}{5}\\\\Mean=\dfrac{135}{5}\\\\Mean=27$

hence, we get Mean=Median.

Hence, Mean or median best represents the center of data as both are equal.
