What is the best measure of Center for the following dataset 0.06 1 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 is the answer mean or is the answer range?

Answer 1

The best measure of center for this dataset is the mean. Range is a measure of dispersion, not a measure of center. The mean of the dataset is calculated by adding up all the numbers and dividing by the total count, which in this case would be (0.06 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 9) / 13 = 5.46.
