This dot plot is not symmetric, and the data set has two extreme values. What is the best measure of center for this dot plot?

The number line is 1 to 10. There are 2 dots over 2; 4 dots over 3; 1 dot over 4; and 2 dots over 10.

A. The median

B. The interquartile range

C. The mean absolute deviation

D. The mean

The best measure of center for this dot plot is the median.

Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

measures of center or location of a data set include;

the mean

the mode

the median

If a data set is symmetric or approximately normal then the best measure of center is the mean. On the other hand, for an asymmetric data with outliers the best measure of center is the median since it is robust to outliers.
