The scores for tests taken by Kelli and Robert are shown below. Each test is worth 20 points.

Kelli: 15, 18, 20, 15, 16, 19, 16

Robert: 16, 18, 16, 5, 17, 20, 20

Select all the statements that best explain the most appropriate measure of center for each data set.

• A. Robert’s scores are better represented by the mean rather than the median since the data has no outliers.

• B. Robert’s scores are better represented by the median rather than the mean since the data has outliers.

• C. Kelli’s scores are better represented by the mean rather than the median since the data has no outliers.

• D. Kelli’s scores are better represented by the median rather than the mean since the data has outliers.

• E. Both Robert and Kelli’s data is better represented with the median because they have outliers.
