Q:

Give an example of each of the following situations explain your choices1. where the mean provides the most useful information2. where the median provides the most useful information3. where the mode provide the most useful information

Accepted Solution

A:
1. When determining the average change in a data set
2. When the data is skewed. You'll need to relocate your central station of data. Because the skewed data is dragging all your data away from its true typical value.(If the data is correct then the answers of mean, median, and mode should almost be identical.)
3. Determining the most common category, typically based on data points or a graph (example: transport)
