Q

Mean

A

the arithmetic average of a set of numbers. Only works with continuous (interval or ratio) data. Mean is the most sensitive for bias from skewed data

25
Q

What is the most sensitive for bias from skewed data

A

mean

26
Q

median

A

the value that separates the higher half of the data from the lower half of the data sample. It is the middle value if the data sample is ordered from highest to lowest. If 2 values are in the middle, take the average of the 2 values and get the median. Median works for continuous or ordinal data. Median is less sensitive to bias from skewed data than mean, but not as good as mode.

27
Q

Best representation of data in skewed data

A

MODE

28
Q

Mode

A

the most common value in a set of numbers or categories. Works for any type of data. Mode is least sensitive to bias from skewed data.
