Concept explainers
To find: The comparison between the answer in exercise 5 with those in exercise 7. And then tell the measures of central tendency that is sensitive to extreme measurements.
Answer to Problem 11E
The comparison is given below.
Explanation of Solution
The mean, median and mode of exercise 5 is calculated as:
Further simplified as:
The mean, median and mode of exercise 7 is calculated as:
Further simplified as:
The mode is same for both the exercise, the mean and median of exercise 14 is more than mean and median of exercise 11.
The mode is sensitive to extreme measurements, because the mode is same for both the exercises.
Therefore, the comparison is given above.
