A student want to report on the number of movies her friends watch each week the collected data are below 2,14,1,2,0,1,0,2 Which measure of Center its most appropriate for this situation and what is it to value median 1.5 or median 3or 1.5 or mean 1.5 or mean 3

Answer 1

In this case, the most appropriate measure of center would be the median. This is because the data may be skewed by outliers (such as friends who watch a very high or very low number of movies per week), and the median is not affected by outliers as much as the mean is.

To calculate the median, we need to arrange the data in order:

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 14

There are 8 data points, so the median is the average of the 4th and 5th data points, which are 1 and 2. Therefore, the median is (1+2)/2 = 1.5.

So the correct answer is: "The most appropriate measure of center for this situation is the median, and the value of the median is 1.5."
