1. For the following scores, find the mean, median, and the mode. Which would be the most appropriate measure for this data set? 2, 2, 0, 5,1, 4,1, 3, 0, 0, 1, 4, 4, 0,1, 4, 3, 4, 2, 1

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

first arrange the data in ascending order

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@jessicajanece come on do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find mean, add all the numbers then divide by the number of numbers there are in this case 19

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the mode is the number that is the most frequent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the median you just cross off number from both sides until you hit the middle

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

mean =42/20=2.1

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

mode =1,4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to find the mean median and mode, just confused on what would be the most appropriate measure for this set of data?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not really sure what the "appropriate measure" means

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

for ungrouped data the best measure is always the mean
