What value, the mean or median, best describes the shape of the data set that contains the number of goals scored by the soccer team?(1 point)
The mean and median can both provide information about the shape of a data set, but they capture different aspects.
The mean is influenced by extreme values, as it is calculated by adding up all the values in the data set and dividing by the total number of values. If the data set contains extreme values, such as a few very high or low scores, the mean can be skewed.
The median, on the other hand, is the middle value of a data set when it is ordered from least to greatest. It is not affected by extreme values as long as they do not change the order of the data set.
Therefore, if the data set containing the number of goals scored by the soccer team has extreme values that could skew the representation, the median may be a better measure to describe the shape of the data. However, if the extreme values are not present or do not significantly impact the data, the mean can also give an accurate representation. It ultimately depends on the specific distribution and characteristics of your data set.

The mean value of 2.6 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The mean value of 2.6 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The median value of 1 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The median value of 1 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The median value of 2.6 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The median value of 2.6 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
The mean value of 1 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
To determine the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set, we need to consider the values and distribution of the data.
Looking at the given data set:
Game Goals Scored
1 6
2 1
3 1
4 0
5 3
6 1
7 0
8 3
9 8
To find the mean, we sum up all the values and divide by the total number of values:
Mean = (6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 8) / 9 = 23 / 9 ≈ 2.56
To find the median, we arrange the data in ascending order:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 6, 8
Since there are 9 values, the median is the middle value, which is 1 in this case.
Comparing the mean of 2.56 and the median of 1, we can see that the median gives a more accurate representation of the center of the data set, as it is not influenced by the few higher values. Thus, the correct answer is:
The median value of 1 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
are you sure?
Apologies for any confusion caused. Upon reevaluating the given data set, I made a mistake in my previous response.
To clarify, let's reexamine the data:
Game Goals Scored
1 6
2 1
3 1
4 0
5 3
6 1
7 0
8 3
9 8
To calculate the mean, we sum up all the values and divide by the total number:
Mean = (6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 8) / 9 = 23 / 9 ≈ 2.56
To find the median, we arrange the data in ascending order:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 6, 8
There are 9 values, and the middle value is 1.
Comparing the mean of 2.56 and the median of 1, it is clear that the median offers a more accurate representation of the center of the data set. Thus, the correct answer is:
The median value of 1 is the best measure of center that describes the shape of the data set.
