Question

if we have to cross a river and there is option to chose only one among mean, median or mode to cross the river safely. Which one will you chose? Answer with reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The interquartile range is the best measure of variability for skewed distributions or data sets with outliers. Because it's based on values that come from the middle half of the distribution, it's unlikely to be influenced by outliers

Answer 2

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\orange{Options:}}}}$

a) mean

b) median

c) mode

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\pink{Answer :}}}}$

I choose median.

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\red{Reason :}}}}$

Because the median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.

The reason why I didn't choose mean or mode :

✦ Mean :

• The mean (average) of a data set is found by adding all numbers in the data set and then dividing by the number of values in the set.

✦ Mode :

• The mode is the number that occurs most often in a data set.
