Describe the center and spread of the distribution using the appropriate measures.

• The median is 3. The first quartile is 1. The data are centered around 2 television sets. The spread of the data around the center is 10 – 0, or 10 television sets.

• The median is 3. The first quartile is 1. The data are centered around 2 television sets. The spread of the data around the center is 3 – 1, or 2 television sets.
