(06.03) A student wants to report on the number of books her friends read each week. The collected data are

below:

0 24 1 4 5 2 5 4

Which measure of center is most appropriate for this situation and what is its value? (2 points)

O Median; 2.

Median; 4

CE O

Mean; 2

O Mean: 4

Median is best suitable, it = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is best suitable as this data' measure of central tendency. As, mean is suitable in a normally distributed data. But, in skewed (uneven) distributions, where outliers exist, median is more suitable - as it is positional average, not effected by extreme values ie outliers.

Median :

Ascending order : 0 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 4 , 4 , 4 , 5 , 5

Number (N) = 9. So, median = (N+1/ 2)th observation

= { (9 +1) / 2 } th = (10 / 2)th = 5th observation = 4

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
