Question

Luis's bowling scores were 195, 194, 191, 190, 238, and 192. Which measure (median, mean, mode or range) BEST describes Luis's bowling score? EXPLAIN your answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is :

195, 194, 191, 190, 238, and 192

Mean = (sum of observations)/(total no. of observations)

$\text{Mean}=\dfrac{195+194+191+190+238+192}{6}\\\\=200$

So, the mean is the best measure. Also, w can find median as follows.

arranging in order : 190,191,192, 194, 195,238

Here, n = 6

$\text{Median}=\dfrac{\dfrac{n}{2}^{th}+(\dfrac{n}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\\\\\text{Median}=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{2}^{th}+(\dfrac{6}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{3^{th}+4^{th}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{192+194}{2}\\\\=193$

Hence, this is the required solution
