Kirsten Woodward · Answer 1

They would want to use the larger number, which in this case is the median--21

The mean is a smaller number (20)

Trystan Villegas · Answer 2

Mean (average) : (12+16+16+21+22+25+28) / 7 = 140/7 = 20

median (middle number) = 21

mode (number that appears most often) = 16

range (largest number - smallest number) = 28 - 12 = 16

Q1 = 16

Q2 = 21

Q3 = 25

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 25 - 16 = 9

not sure about the last part ... I am thinking median
