Question

If you wanted to know if you read more or fewer books than most people in your class, would you want to know the mean, median, or mode?

Answer 1

The mean would probably be the best stat to look at.

Answer 2

Roshan why mode?

Answer 3

I amnot sure with mode,but mode gives us the repetition of the values

Answer 4

Mean should be the best bet I guess

Answer 5

Mean because that tells you if you read more or less than average

Answer 6

Sure, mean is the answer!

Answer 7

An example where the mode fails is this:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.
The mode would be 10, which doesnt really help in looking for what number of books people are reading.

Answer 9
