The following data set has a mode of 2, a mean of 10, and a median of 7. Which of these three measures gives the best idea of the typical size of the numbers in the list?2,2,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,60A. Mode
b.MeanC.Median
The answer is C.median. Let's look into it one by one.
A.mode-it is inappropriate to use mode as it only indicate the smallest number which cannot represent the typical size.
B.Mean- It might seemed to be the most common method however in this case 60,the only number with extreme size will pull up the outcome making it not suitable to indicate the typical size.
C.Median-It is the most appropriate one as it is placed in the middle with similar size around.
