Question 63

Which average is calculated in a way that uses every value in the data set, so that changing any one value must change the result?

  1. The meanCorrect answer
  2. The median
  3. The mode
  4. The halfway point between the smallest and the largest value

Explanation

Ordering the data to find the median does look at every value, but only the central position survives into the result, and the largest value could be doubled without moving it at all.
