Answer:
Median; 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms are 0, 24, 1, 4, 5, 2, 5, 4.
In Ascending order,
0, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 24
The number of terms ( n ) = 8
Since, n = 8 ( even number )
There is a formula to find median for even number of terms.
Median ( even number ) = [(n/2)th term + {(n/2) + 1}th term] / 2
n/2 th term
= 8/2 th term
= 4 th term
= 4 th term in the ascending order
= 4
(n/2) + 1 th term
= 4 + 1 th term
= 5 th term
= 5 th term in the ascending order
= 4
[(n/2)th term + {(n/2) + 1}th term] / 2
= [ 4 + 4 ] / 2
= 8/2
= 4
Therefore,
The measure of center is most appropriate for this situation is Median
and its value is 4.
