Q:

Create a dot plot of the data shown below. 20, 21, 21, 25, 20, 23, 27, 23, 24, 25, 26, 24, 23, 22, 24 Which measure of center would best describe a typical value of the data set? Why? would be best, because the data distribution is .

Accepted Solution

A:
The measure of center that would best describe a typical value of the data set is a mean since the values are close.What is a measure of center?It should be noted that the measure of center include the mean, median, mode, and the mid-range.In this case, when there is a close distribution of different numbers, he beta measurement will be the mean.Therefore, the mean of the numbers will be:= (20 + 21 + 21 + 25 + 20 + 23 + 27 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 24 + 23 + 22 + 24)/15= 348/15= 23.2Learn more about measure of center on:
