Chapter 14.2, Problem 22E
The article “A Method for the Estimation of Alcohol in Fortified Wines Using Hydrometer Baumé and Refractometer Brix” (Amer. J. of Enol. and Vitic., 2006: 486–490) gave duplicate measurements on distilled alcohol content (%) for a sample of 35 port wines. Here are averages of those duplicate measurements:
| 15.30 | 16.20 | 16.35 | 17.15 | 17.48 | 17.73 | 17.75 |
| 17.85 | 18.00 | 18.68 | 18.82 | 18.85 | 19.03 | 19.07 |

The article "Snow Cover and Temperature Relationships in North America and Eurasia"t used statistical techniques to relate the amount of snow cover on each continent to
average continental temperature. Data presented there included the following ten observations on October snow cover for Eurasia during the years 1970-1979 (in million km2):
6.5 12.0
14.9
10.0
10.7
7.9
21.9
12.5
14.5
9.2
What would you report as a representative, or typical, value of October snow cover for this period, and what prompted your choice?
O The mean of this sample because the mean is always the best central measure.
The mean of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading median.
The median of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading mean.
