Question

(C) A bakery sells 9 types of sandwiches. Here are their calorie amounts: 562.568. 590. 599. 611.621. 623. 641, 938. Which measure should be used to summarize the data? A-Mean B-Median C-Mode​

Answer 1

Answer:

611

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is 632.9 which is a lot higher than 611, and is actually higher than the penultimate value 632, and if presented as a general single value, it may mislead customers into thinking that the sandwiches have a high calorific value. We don’t know how many sandwiches of different types there are, and there may only be a few with high values. So I would use the median 611 as a typical value for the number of calories.
