Will fan and medal, but I need explanation.

A. Mean; likely no outliers
B. Median; likely no outliers
C. Median; likely no outliers
D. Mode; the data are not numerical

Thank You

Answer 1

I would say the mean. It is the average amount of apples in a 2lb bag. That means for any amount of 2lb bags of apples you have there will be an average of so many apples in each bag.

If you pick median that is just the middle number in the amount of apples. So if there are 100 apples in the bag your median would be 50 apples which doesn't tell much about the number of apples in the bag since it could vary bag to bag
