Ally surveyed 5 classrooms. she wanted to know the number of students in each class who love painting. the data she collected from the 5 classrooms is below. 10, 7, 9, 11, 8 the value that could be the best measure of the center of this data is

The best measure of the center of this data is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The data Ally collected from the 5 classrooms is  10, 7, 9, 11, 8.

We have to find the value that could be the best measure of the center of the given data.

Since, the center of the data is  the median of data.

We an calculate median by first rearranging the data in ascending order (increasing order) and then find the middle value of the data,

If the data is odd then middle value is the median and

if data is even then the average of two middle term is the median.

Consider the given data  10, 7, 9, 11, 8.

Arrange in ascending order , we have,

7, 8, 9, 10, 11

since, the number of data is 5 which is odd hence middle term is the median

Hence,  middle term is 9 .

So the median is 9.

Thus, The best measure of the center of this data is 9.

the answer is a
