Ari’s teacher says he may have his report grade based on either the mean or the median of his last six test scores. 88%, 73%, 97%, 76%, 90%, 80% which measure of center would best represent ari’s grade?

The mean would be the best! The mean is when you add up all of those grades and divide by the amount of exams.

If you're solving it,

504 is the total divided by 6 tests would be 84.

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
