Which question will give data that has a measure of center and variation? A. What is the height of my teacher? B. How many students in my class like algebra? C. What is the weight of each student in my class? D. How long was the winter vacation for each student in my class?

xxemilianaxx:

What do you think?

myabell:

I think it is B but I'm not sure

xxemilianaxx:

Use measures of center and measures of variation to describe data. Know that a measure of center for a numerical data set tells you all of its values with just a single number, While a measure of variation tells how its values vary with a single number

xxemilianaxx:

B doesn't really have nothing to do with it so we can cross that out

xxemilianaxx:

That leaves A,C,D

myabell:

Now that I know that i think its A

xxemilianaxx:

No try again

xxemilianaxx:

We're using measure of center and variation

xxemilianaxx:

A, B and D are incorrect because it is only give one numerical value/central value and the variation can't be won't be found using just a single variable

xxemilianaxx:

That leaves C, Your answer

myabell:

Thank you very much for helping me
