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?

Question

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Roshan why mode?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Mean should be the best bet I guess

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Sure, mean is the answer!

anonymous · Answer

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.
