Jada is studying the variability of her quiz scores. Which pair of statistics best describes the spread of scores?

cooldanny:

pls help me

MrMudd183:

do you have a photo of the answer choices and the data?

cooldanny:

no

MrMudd183:

"13, 11, 16, 12, 42, 8 The mean of this data set is 17. The median is 12.5. The median is 14.5. The mean is more affected by the outlier. The median is more affected by the outlier. The mean of this data set is 12." is that the data?

kittybasil:

I can try to find the rest for you, but I can't guarantee it's the same information as your question. The stuff changes depending on which class is using it.

cooldanny:

thx so much for the help

MrMudd183:

if it's the same thing as i posted, then the first thing you wanna do is find the median and mean

MrMudd183:

mean is the averave and median is the middle

kittybasil:

@cooldanny Do you have the whole question? Because what we are looking at now is only half of the question

MrMudd183:

to find the mean, you take all the numbers and add them up. then you divide by how many numbers there are. so in this case, you would divide by 6

MrMudd183:

to find the median, an easy way is to mark off the numbers. like so |dw:1589239023724:dw|

MrMudd183:

so then the median would be 16, if you do it that way

MrMudd183:

hope that helps you out. if you need any more help, just let me know. and Welcome to QC c:

kittybasil:

@cooldanny Ok this is what I'm going to assume is your question.
