Find the measures of center. What value best represents all the measures of center for the following data set? 12, 13, 40, 95, 88, 7, 95(1 point) Responses 48 48 50 50 95 95 40
The measures of center for this data set are the mean and the median.
- Mean: To find the mean, add up all the numbers in the data set and then divide by the total number of values.
Mean = (12 + 13 + 40 + 95 + 88 + 7 + 95) / 7 = 350 / 7 = 50
- Median: The median is the middle value when the data set is ordered from least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
In this case, since there are 7 numbers, the median is the fourth number in the ordered list, which is 40.
Therefore, the value that best represents all the measures of center for this data set is 40.
