<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct options are:
- Four families said that they went out for dinner twice the previous week.
- one family said that they ate out 5 times the previous week.
- The median best represents the data set.
Based on the data we make a frequency table as follows:
Number of times Frequency
family went for dinner
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 1
4 2
5 1
6 1
- The range of the number line should be from 0 to 6 to represent the frequency.
- Also, as the frequency corresponding to 2 is 4.
Hence, 4 families said that they went out for dinner twice the previous week.
- As the frequency corresponding to 5 is 1.
Hence, one family said that they ate out 5 times the previous week.
- The data is not symmetrical since there is no such point about which the data is symmetric.
- Also, we know that the median is the central tendency of the data and best represent the data.
