To find: Thecorrect representation for the data set of number of volunteer’s hours.
Answer to Problem 4CFU
The mean of 8.5 covers every data set so the arithmetic mean is the best representative of the data.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data set is,
Calculation:
Consider the given data is,
The mean of the given data set is,
Consider the median of the given data set is,
Consider the mode of the data set is the most frequent value that is 2 as it is 4 times.
Since, the mean of 8.5 covers every data set so the arithmetic mean is the best representative of the data.
