great thanks ok here it is Which measure of center or spread represents the given situation? Brecken calculated the average of her first five math quizzes. A. mean B. median C. mode D. range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is B.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`average` is same as `mean`

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

No, median is a different thing - For median, we dont calculate anything, we just sort the data and pick the middle value

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Calculating average is same as calculating mean : add all the values and divide by the number of values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so it is A
