Question

If you told someone that the greatest depth of Lake Superior is 1333ft would you be expressing a number similar to mode, median, mean or range?

That would be the range. The mode is the numbers that appear most often. Median is the middle number and mean is the average.


I don't think it's mean, because that's the average. But it can't be mode either right? Because that's the number that appears most often. So either range or median. I think it might be range.

Sorry, I was typing at the same time as Ms. Sue!:')

Answer 1

It is the mode because 3 appear most oftenly and also the mean is 3 cos is the average of the data.

Answer 2

Range - the shallowest part of a lake is at the edge and is 0. The deepest part is 1333. Therefore the difference between the two endpoints is 1333.
