Or do you have to compute again for the measures of central tendency/variancewhen you group those ungrouped data? Thank you
The data set given is of covid cases in 10 ASEAN countries in 2020. there are extreme values on both sides because the lowest value is 25 and the highest is 480,000+
We need to decide which measure of central tendency and measure of variation is most appropriate for that, so for the first one, I used median because of the outliers. And for variation, our choices are from range, standard deviation, or variance. So which one would be best to use?
I initially thought range because of the extreme values, but my groupmates are saying standard deviation. So I'm probably wrong, right?
I chose to use the median as measure for central tendency, instead of the mode. I can't however find any literature supporting use of the median over the mode or visa versa. Is there a clear explaination on why the median is the better choice? Or is the mode perhaps a better measure.
I’ve been updating my household budget. I started looking at the median values of certain types of spending and realized that I was always taught to use the mean (average) but I don’t really know why or if one is better suited than the other for a budget. Which measure do you use? Why?
Please help ASAP I understand the basics but can't seem to think of examples the ff
Make three data sets with 5 numbers each that have:
a) the same mean but different standard deviations.
b) the same mean but different medians.
c) the same median but different means.
...mean, median, Depeche Mode.
