Question

Kelsey scored the following points in her first six basketball games:
22, 14, 19, 22, 8, and 17. What is the relationship between the measures
of central tendency of these data?
(1) mode > median > mean (3) mean > median > mode
(2) median > mode > mean (4) mode > mean > median

Answer 1

1) mode > median > mean

Mean is the average of all data.
22 + 14 + 19 + 22 + 8 + 17 = 102 ÷ 6 = 17
Median is the middle value of the data arranged from lowest to highest:
8, 14, 17, 19, 22, 22  => 17 + 19 = 36 ÷ 2 = 18
Mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other number.
8, 14, 17, 19, 22, 22 => 22

22 > 18 > 17  ==>>>  mode > media > mean
