Would the mean or median best describe the given data. Explain your choice.

14, 17, 25, 15, 20, 18, 41

Put this data set 14, 17, 25, 15, 20, 18, 41 in order from smallest to largest

14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 25, 41

so median = 18

mean = (14 + 15 + 17 + 18 + 20 + 25 + 41) / 7 = 150 / 7 = 21.43

mean is greater than median, so the mean would be best describe the given data.

answer

the mean would be best describe the given data.

18 is the median.

because it's in the middle.

14,15,17,18,20,25,41

mean is the average so 21.4?
