Begin your discussion by reporting your results for each of the
values listed above.
To get my figures I use the Descriptive Statistics Calculator
by Calculator soup online. I put in my number and it gave a
very detailed answer. It all seems to be right information
according to the information entered.
Based on this output, which single value best describes this set
of data and why?
Graphic measurements are the numbers used to portray the

5. primary highlights of a gathering of information. Such numbers
incorporate things like the general example estimate,
changeability or scattering arrangement of information plus
along with other progressively entangled measures that still
simply portray the informational collection. So it is based on
the correct numbers entered.
If you could pick three of these values instead of only one,
which three would you choose and why?
The 3 values that I would choose is mode, means and
median. The median and means were same thing, I think. The
mode is how many numbers. An signify were abnormal that you
are utilized for, that include every one of sums plus after the
separation from an quantity number. An middle number was
center within an rundown onto an figures. On the off chance
that no number in the rundown was rehashed, at that point any
rundown.
Many numerous approaches on the depict information, about

• Based on this output, which single value best describes this set
of data and why?
The statistical mean gives important information about the data
set at hand as well as a single number which can give meaning
about the data at hand.
• If you could pick three of these values instead of only one,
which three would you choose and why?
I would choose the mean, median and range. Why you ask? First
the mean of the data allows you to see the average of the data
set. The median measures of where the half of data, I feel this
gives a balance to the research data preventing lopsidedness.
Lastly I chose the range because you can develop a sense of the
difference from the maximum and minimum values.

The set of data entered is 20 test scores. The value that would
best describe the data set would be the mean. Since this is a set
of test scores the mean would give the teacher the average of
the scores and allow her to see how well the students did on the
test overall.
The three values that I would choose to represent this data set
would be Mean, Median, and Standard Deviation.
The Mean allows the teacher to see the average of the scores.
The Median would allow the teacher to see what score was in
the middle of the data set.
The Standard Deviation would show how much the scores
deviate from the mean or average score.

Based on this output, which single value best describes this set

11. Based on this output I would say that the median best describes
this set of data. My reason is because the median is that point
on the scale where an equal number of scores have greater
values and lesser values.
If you could pick three of these values instead of only one,
which three would you choose and why?
My choices would be: the median because it is the middlemost
score. The mean because it is the average of the set of values;
and the range because it is the difference between the highest
and lowest measures.

Based on this output, which single value best describes this set

set is the mean as it is the average of all 20 of my values.

13. If you could pick three of these values instead of only one,
which three would you choose and why?
I would chose the mean, range and median. I would chose the
mean as stated in the previous question because it is the average
of the data values used. I would chose the range because then
we know that the all the data values would be will be in
between that point because that is what is in between the
minimum and maximum values. Lastly I would chose the
median because this is where the halfway point of the values
would take place.

Based on this output, which single value best describes this set
of data and why?
I would say the range would best describe this set of data. The
range includes both the minimum and maximum numbers
included in the set of data. The maximum number 40 minus the
minimum number 2 Ex. (40 – 2 = 38) also gives me the range
and an idea of the amount of numbers included between the min

14. and max. I calculated the total numbers in between the min and
max by dividing the max number 40 into the min number 2 Ex.
(40/2 = 20). This confirmed there were a total of 20 columns in
Excel which matched the total number of values entered in the
set of data.
If you could pick three of these values instead of only one,
which three would you choose and why?
In addition to the range which gives details on the minimum and
maximum numbers in the data set, I would also pick the mean
since it gives me the average of all of the numbers included.
The mean in combination with the range also will help me make
a determination if the statements made from data reported is a
correct representation of everything collected. Lastly, I would
pick the median because it divides the largest set of numbers
from the smallest in the set to reveal the center value of the data
set. This would be helpful in comparing data and getting more
than the average since the median will only produce one answer
from data that has an outlier.

Based on this output the sum is the single value that best
describes this set of data because it is the total of all the data

If I could pick three values instead of only one I would choose
the mode, the median, and the mean because they are commonly
used in data description, they indicate what is most typical in a
data set, and they complement each other (Tanner, 2016).

Which single one value best describes this state of data and
why.
I'm my best opinion would be the standard deviation since it
calculates all numbers and gets your best value amount. The
mean, median and mode would be the 3 I'd pick as it's the 3

Question 3
Based on this output above, which single value best describes

25. this set of data and why?
The best value to describe the set is the measure of central
tendency, and in our case, the median best describes the set
because of the means higher than most of the values.
The "best" measure should be representative of a "typical" score
in this data set.
The value 78is an outlier because it is much higher than the rest
of the team. Because there is a high outlier, the median is the
best measure to describe the scores. Outliers and skewed data
cannot distort the average — the mean of 55.25is higher than
most of the values.
Question 4
If I could pick three of these values instead of only one, which
three would you choose and why?
If I had to choose one of three of these values, I would select
the mode, median, and the mean. It is because each indicates
what is most typical in any data set, but each defines what is
typical differently.
Models defined as the value that occurs most frequently in the
data set (Berglund et al., 2011).
The mode is 54. The methodis useful when the most common
item, characteristic, or value of a data set is required. The data
set is a nominal scale; the mode becomes vital to use. A single
inspection in an ungrouped data and discrete frequency
distribution can easily be located.
Median is the value when occupies the middle position when all
the observations are arranged in an ascending/descending order.
It divides the frequency distribution precisely into two halves.
Fifty percent of comments in distribution have scored at or
below the median. Hence median is the 50th percentile or can
also be referred to as the 2ndquartile or also known
as ‘positional average.’
The Median, 54,is the most commonly quoted figure used to
measure property prices. If n is odd the median is the center
value. However, If nis even the median is the average of the

26. two center values. The use of the norm avoids the problem of
the low property price when it's affecting by expensive
properties that aren't representative of the general property
market. It is because, for the data set, the median can be used to
find the value that indicates what is between the maximum and
the minimum amount and which is also quite close to the mean.
Outliers and skewed data cannot distort the median.
Mean, and an average of a set of data values is a sum of all data
divided by the number of data values. ( i.e.mean = sum / n). The
mean in the data set is 55.25. Also, it is useful for predicting
future results when we have extreme value in the data. Perhaps,
the impact of extreme values on the mean may be important and
should be considered (Collier, 1996). E.g."(The impact of a
stock market crash on average investment returns)."
