Answer:

<h2>B. Better measure of center: the median.</h2><h2>D. Better measure of spread: the interquartile range (IQR).</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is a measure of central tendency. Specifically, it indicates the central value of a data set, the value that is at the exact center, that is the median. That's why the median is the best measure of center for a data set.

On the other hand, the interquartile range is the difference between the first quartile and the third quartile, that is, the first and last quartile, this difference represent better the spread, because it shows the variability of the data set. This variability measure makes the interquartile range the best option of represent spread.

A store manager is marking down chess boards from $25 to $14. What percentage is the discount?

Alborosie

Remember: when calculating percent it will always be over 100. With the given numbers 14 is your part out of the total (25). It should be written as part/whole.

As previously said, the percent is always over 100. (x/100)

In this problem you are given the part (14) and the whole (25). So it would be 14/25. The percent in this problem would be x/100. Now to find percent with the given part/whole, you would multiply 14 with 100. Then simply divide by 25.
