Which statement about the data is true?
228, 251, 22, 206, 254, 288, 228, 242
a. both the mean and median are appropriate measures of center.
b. both the median and mode are appropriate measures of center. this is the right answer.
c. the mean, median, and mode are all appropriate measures of center.
d. the median is the only appropriate measure of center.

(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is:

228, 251, 22, 206, 254, 288, 228, 242

Since, in the given data set, 22 is an outlier which will affect the mean of the data, thus mean cannot be used to measure the center of the data due to the presence of an outlier.

Also, the median is the central value which is used to measure the center of the given data set, thus median can be used to find the measures of center.

The mode can be calculated for qualitative data as well as for quantitative data and can also be used to find the measures of center.

Thus, option B is correct.
