When finding the median, what do you do if there are two middle numbers?

Add them together and divide by 2

Choose the statistical question:

What time do sixth graders wake up each morning during the school week?

What time did you wake up this morning?

Which statement best describes this graph?

There is a cluster around 38-40.

There is a gap in the data between 39-40.

What measure of central tendency (mean, median or mode) would be best for the following set of data? 0, 89, 92, 97, 99, 100

Median, because there is an outlier. The outlier could be incorrect and would influence the mean too much.

Mode, because it is the one that shows up the most.

Mean, because there is not an outlier. You should always use the mean.

There is not a best measure of central tendency for this data.

What does the distribution of a set of data show?

Numbers that have no data values

Data Set: 44, 43, 42, 40, 42, 45, 39, 38, 18. Is the median or mean the best measure of center? Explain. Choose the correct measure of center AND explanation.
