A survey was taken of students in math classes to find out how many hours per day students spend on social media. The survey results for the first-, second-, and third-period classes are as follows: First period: 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 9, 2, 4, 3, 0 Second period: 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3, 1, 2 Third period: 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3 Which is the best measure of center for third period and why?

Third Period: 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3

Measures of central tendency are methods to which an investigator can locate the most central value, or the reoccurring or frequent most value in the set of parameter or statistic. There are three:

Mean. Is the average of the data values

Median. The middlemost value or digit in the data set

Mode. The determining the most frequent parameter To identify which of these three suits the given, arranging them first is a must. Ascending to descending.

Third Period: 0,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3 4,4,4,5,8,

The best is mode, why? Because if you observe there is a number most frequent in the data value and it is the fastest way.

Mode = 3
