Maths (mode, mean, median)?

loan



for Q1, i%26#039;d say either mean or mode. But mean should be used because it is more reliable. Mode is possible because production figures often come repetitive.



For Q2, hmmm pass hahahahahaha



For Q3, I%26#039;d say mode. Mode because since he wants to see if he is fairly paid, he has to see if they all have the same amount.



For Q4, I%26#039;d say mode too. Would you be willing to believe that there were 4.75 robbers? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha|||1) I would use mean as an estimate of production over the long term;



2) I would use the median to represent output-minimizes the impact of the few lazy boys;



3) I would use mode to represent the most typical pay rate, although median might also be used depending upon the spread;



4) Mode is the number given by the most respondents and thus the most probable answer. Also the only whole number result|||1. Mean



2. Mode- he needs to negotiate for the highest salary



3. Mean



4. Mode-- maximum number of people saying same thing



Median gives only the class about which the classes are equally distributed- hence not a fair assessment in this.|||Q1. Mean



Q2.Median



Q3.Mean



Q4.Mode
