Question

what is the importance of finding the “middle” of a set of data?

Each measure of the "middle" (the mean, the mode, and the median) has its strengths and weaknesses. In 75-150 words, use everyday examples from work or home to identify cases where 2 of these measures would be good or bad.

Answer 1

solution:-

MEAN:-

• the average marks of the student i.e total marks in all the subjects divided by the total number of subjects which will let the student know his or her average or mean.
• the total number of mobile bills in the house , example if there are 7 people using mobile so total of al the bill valves and divided by number of bills so it given an average of what is the approx.bill valve of each person in the house.

so the above 2 measures would be good.

also if we talk about median then it could be bad as it would not tel us who is the highest frequency sample i.e. it gives the middle valve rather than showing us the extremes.
