Find the mean, median, and mode. Which measure of central tendency best describes the data?

Time spent on internet in min/day 75, 38, 43, 120, 65, 48, 52

1 answer

Mean: (75 + 38 + 43 + 120 + 65 + 48 + 52) / 7 = 64 minutes/day

To find the median, arrange the data in numerical order: 38, 43, 48, 52, 65, 75, 120
Median: 52 minutes/day

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set. In this case, there is no mode as each value only appears once.

In this case, the median best describes the data because it is not affected by extreme values like the mean.
