multiple choice question
if the number of drinks consumed in a week by each member of a small group is 4, 4, 6, 7, and 8, the number 6 would be the ______ for that group.
○ mean
○ median
○ mode
○ percentage

Explanation:

Step1: Identify each statistic

• Mean: $\frac{4+4+6+7+8}{5} = \frac{29}{5} = 5.8$
• Median: Middle value of ordered data (4,4,6,7,8) is 6
• Mode: Most frequent value is 4
• Percentage: Not a central tendency measure here

Step2: Match value 6 to statistic

The value 6 matches the median definition.

Answer:

O median
