- Use the mean if the data is symmetric and has no outliers. Use the median if the data is skewed or has outliers, as it is less affected by extreme values.
- True
- Median, because the data set contains an outlier (105), which would skew the mean.
- Mode
- Mode, because the data is categorical (types of pets), and mode identifies the most frequent category.
- Mean, because the data is numerical and does not appear to have extreme outliers; it represents a continuous measurement.
- False
- Median
- [Student must collect data from 7 classmates for this question; no specific answer can be provided without their input.]
- [Answer depends on the collected data from question 9; typically, median is more appropriate for sibling count data due to potential outliers.]
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of mean median mode answers.
