Question

1. given the outliers and amount of deviation in each data set, which value (mean, median, mode) best represents the overall data set of foot width in males and females? explain your answer in a complete sentence.

Explanation:

The mean is affected by outliers as it takes into account all values in the data - set. The mode represents the most frequently occurring value and may not capture the overall spread. The median is the middle - value when the data is ordered. Since there are outliers and deviation in the data set of foot width, the median is less affected by these extreme values and better represents the typical value in the overall data set.

Answer:

The median best represents the overall data set of foot width in males and females because it is less affected by outliers.
