• Mean, Median, Mode

• Median, Mode, Range

• Mean, Median, Range

When is it appropriate to use the mean as a measure of center?

• When data is categorical

• When data is far apart

• When data is close together

• When data has extreme values

In which scenario would you use the median to represent the data?

• When data is close together

• When data is categorical

• When data has one extreme value

• When data has no extreme values

Why would you use mode for the data set 3, 5, and 3?

• Because 3 occurs most often

• Because the data is categorical

• Because the data is close together

• Because 5 is an extreme value

What measure of center would you use for the data set 2, 4, 1, 3, 3, 1, 3?

• Mode

• Range

• Median

• Mean

If a data set includes the values 10, 12, 0, 8, 12, 8, which measure of center should be used?

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

• Range

What type of data requires the use of mode?

• Evenly spread data

• Data with extreme values

• Categorical data

• Close data

When should you use the mean to represent your data set?

• When values are spread out evenly

• When half the data points are the same

• When there are extreme values

• When data is categorical

Which measure of center is used when about half of the data points are the same?
