If the central value or typical value in a data set is 15, and the majority of the other values are within 5 points of the central value; Which would be considered a striking deviation to the data set?
A) 5
B) 11
C) 17
D) 19
5 is well outside the expected deviation.
what does that mean
17
the answer is 17!
Good luck!
no the answer is 5
To determine which value would be considered a striking deviation to the data set, we need to compare the values to the central value of 15. The statement mentions that the majority of the other values are within 5 points of the central value, meaning most values will be between 10 and 20.
A striking deviation would be a value that significantly exceeds this range. Let's compare each option to the central value:
A) 5: This value is within the range and is not a striking deviation.
B) 11: This value is within the range and is not a striking deviation.
C) 17: This value is within the range and is not a striking deviation.
D) 19: This value is outside the range of 10 to 20, as it exceeds the upper limit. Therefore, D) 19 would be considered a striking deviation to the data set.
So the answer is D) 19.
