Measure Most Useful When
mean

The data are spread fairly evenly
The data set has an outlier
The data involve a subject in which
many data points of one value are
important, such as election results.
ANY
QUESTIONS??
ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the outlier in the data set, and determine how the
outlier affects the mean, median, and mode of the data.
Then tell which measure of central tendency best describes
the data with and without the outlier. Justify your answer.
85, 91, 83, 78, 79, 64, 81, 97
The outlier is 64. Without the outlier the mean is 85, the
median is 83, and there is no mode. With the outlier the
mean is 82, the median is 82, and there is no mode.
Including the outlier decreases the mean by 3 and the
median by 1, there is no mode.

  • 27. Group Activity 3: Choosing the Best Measure to Describe a Set of Data Mean, Median, Mode, and Range mean: 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 40 + 60 + 60 + 70 10 = 330 10 The mean is 33. Most of the cheerleaders raised less than $33, so the mean does not describe the data set best. = 33 The line plot shows the number of dollars each of the 10 members of the cheerleading team raised in a week. Which measure of central tendency best describes this data? Justify your answer.
  • 28. Group Activity 3: Choosing the Best Measure to Describe a Set of Data Mean, Median, Mode, and Range median: The median is 20. The median best describes the data set because it is closest to the amount most cheerleaders raised. 15, 15, 15, 15, 20, 20, 40, 60, 60, 70 The line plot shows the number of dollars each of the 10 members of the cheerleading team raised in a week. Which measure of central tendency best describes this data? Justify your answer. OUTLIERS
  • 29. OUTLIERS Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Abnormal/extreme values in a data set.
  • 30. Group Activity 3: Choosing the Best Measure to Describe a Set of Data Mean, Median, Mode, and Range mode: The greatest number of X’s occur above the number 15 on the line plot. The mode is 15. The mode focuses on one data value and does not describe the data set. The line plot shows the number of dollars each of the 10 members of the cheerleading team raised in a week. Which measure of central tendency best describes this data? Justify your answer.
  • 31. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Measure Most Useful When mean median mode The data are spread fairly evenly The data set has an outlier The data involve a subject in which many data points of one value are important, such as election results.
  • 33. ASSIGNMENT 1. Identify the outlier in the data set, and determine how the outlier affects the mean, median, and mode of the data. Then tell which measure of central tendency best describes the data with and without the outlier. Justify your answer. 85, 91, 83, 78, 79, 64, 81, 97 The outlier is 64. Without the outlier the mean is 85, the median is 83, and there is no mode. With the outlier the mean is 82, the median is 82, and there is no mode. Including the outlier decreases the mean by 3 and the median by 1, there is no mode. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
