OpenStudy (danjs):

median and the mean

OpenStudy (danjs):

central tendency , middle number, is the median right

OpenStudy (danjs):

277 + 301 divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Central tendacy means middle number

OpenStudy (danjs):

so the median

OpenStudy (danjs):

(277+301)/2

OpenStudy (danjs):

since you have an even amount of numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its a and b

OpenStudy (danjs):

I dont think the mode would count, that is the most common number right? not a measure of the central tendency

OpenStudy (danjs):

Mean, is the average of all the numbers, that could be considered central tendency, but if you have one number that is way far off from the others, it will throw off the central number by a bit, so not sure if that one you want to count

OpenStudy (danjs):

THe median is the central number in a list of increasing numbers

OpenStudy (danjs):

the range is not the central tendency

OpenStudy (danjs):

the deviation is how far off they are from the others, so that is not the central tendency

OpenStudy (danjs):

I would say Median for sure, Mean possibly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks
