What value best represents all the measures of center for the following data set?
48, 12, 11, 45, 48, 48, 43, 32
(1 point) find answer
The measures of center for this data set are:
- Mean: Sum of all numbers divided by the total number of numbers = (48+12+11+45+48+48+43+32) / 8 = 287 / 8 = 35.875
- Median: Middle number when the numbers are ordered from least to greatest = 12, 11, 32, 43, 45, 48, 48, 48 = 43
- Mode: Number that appears most frequently = 48
Therefore, the value that best represents all the measures of center for the data set is 48.
wrong answertr
Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate:
The measures of center for this data set are:
- Mean: Sum of all numbers divided by the total number of numbers
= (48 + 12 + 11 + 45 + 48 + 48 + 43 + 32) / 8
= 287 / 8
= 35.875
- Median: Middle number when the numbers are ordered from least to greatest
= 12, 11, 32, 43, 45, 48, 48, 48
= (32 + 43) / 2
= 37.5
- Mode: Number that appears most frequently
= 48
Based on all measures, the value that best represents the data set is 37.5.
