Consider the following information about a dataset Mean 100

Consider the following information about a dataset:

Mean = 100

Standard deviation = 200

Median = 60

Which would be the best descriptor(s) of the data?

a. Standard deviation, because it tells about the dispersion of the data

b. Mean and standard deviation, because they tell the central tendency and spread of the data.

c. Median, because the data likely has extreme outliers

d. Mean, because the mean is the most common descriptor

Solution

Standard deviation is too high .In fact more than mean

The data must be having extreme values.

Hence median best describes the data

C is the answer
