no
Apologies for the error. The correct value that best represents all measures of center for the given data set (48, 12, 11, 45, 48, 48, 43, 32) is 43.
it is not right
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate the correct measures of center for the data set (48, 12, 11, 45, 48, 48, 43, 32) again.
Mean:
(48 + 12 + 11 + 45 + 48 + 48 + 43 + 32) / 8 = 287 / 8 = 35.875
Median:
The data set in order: 11, 12, 32, 43, 45, 48, 48, 48
Since the data set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values:
(32 + 43) / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5
Mode:
48 is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset. Therefore, the mode is 48.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
Mean: 35.875
Median: 37.5
Mode: 48
Thank you for your patience.
