Lauren is a college sophomore majoring in business. This semester Lauren is taking courses in accounting, economics, management
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X= \frac{350+ 70+ 65 +50+ 60}{5} =119

And for the median first we need to order the dataset on increasing way:

50, 60, 65, 70, 350

Since the sample size is an odd number we can calculate the median as the middle position for the dataset, for this case the 3th position and we got:

Median = 65

b) For this case we can see that we have an outlier present in the data 350, and for this case if we want to give a measure of central tendency is better use the median since this meaure is not affected by outliers. So Lauren should use the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

350, 70, 65, 50, 60

Part a

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X= \frac{350+ 70+ 65 +50+ 60}{5} =119

And for the median first we need to order the dataset on increasing way:

50, 60, 65, 70, 350

Since the sample size is an odd number we can calculate the median as the middle position for the dataset, for this case the 3th position and we got:

Median = 65

Part b

For this case we can see that we have an outlier present in the data 350, and for this case if we want to give a measure of central tendency is better use the median since this meaure is not affected by outliers. So Lauren should use the median.
