What value, the mean or the median, best describes the shape of the data set that contains the number of runs scored by the baseball team?
5 answers
The mean would best describe the shape of the data set, as it takes into account all the values and would be affected by the high and low values such as the 10 runs scored in game 7. The median would not be as representative of the overall shape of the data set.
SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER
The mean best describes the shape of the data set that contains the number of runs scored by the baseball team.
Say a number
The mean of the runs scored data set is 4.86.
