University of phoenix, MTH216 Checkpoint 2 Complete Solution.In my data set of 10 exam scores, the mean turned out to be the score of the person with the
... [Show More] third highest grade. No two people got the same score.
The statement makes sense because the mean of a data set can be pulled far to the left or right of the middle of the range of values by outliers.
In my data set of 10 exam scores, the median turned out to be the score of the person with the third highest grade. No two people got the same score.
This does not make sense because the median value should be between the fifth and sixth highest scores.
I made a distribution of 15 apartment rents in my neighborhood. One apartment had a much higher rent than all of the others, and this outlier caused the mean rent to be higher than the median rent.
The statement makes sense because an outlier with a large value increases the mean, but does not affect the median.
The distribution of grades was left-skewed, but the mean, median, and mode were all the same.
This does not make sense because the mean and median should lie somewhere to the left of the mode if the distribution is left-skewed.

The numbers of words defined on randomly selected pages from a dictionary are shown below. Find the mean, median, and mode of the listed numbers.
In Excel, use =AVG formula. The MEAN is the AVERAGE of all the numbers listed.
State, with an explanation, whether the mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average. The average number of children in a family.
The median is the best because the distribution is probably right-skewed with a single peak.
State, with an explanation, whether the mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average. The average weight of potatoes in a 10 dash pound bag.
The mean is the best because the distribution is probably symmetric with a single peak.
State, with an explanation, whether the mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average. The average number of times that people change jobs during their careers.
The median is the best because the distribution is probably right-skewed with a single peak. [Show Less]
