Question

For which data set is mean the best measure of central tendency?

A: 94, 98, 96, 100, 97

B: 54, 60, 58, 3, 64

C :26, 29, 71, 28, 71

D: 5, 5, 5, 301, 5

Answer 1

A 94 98 96 100 97 is the correct answer according to me

Answer 2

The correct answer would be choice A: 94, 98 , 96, 100, 97

The mean is the best measure of central tendency when the values are close together and there are no outliers. Choice A is the only set with no outliers. The rest of the sets have an outlier which will skew the mean.
