Select the statement that correctly describes the data.
3 of 5 QUESTIONS
The typical value is 9 because that is the total number of people.
The typical value is 18 because it is the maximum.
The typical value is 4 because it is the minimum.
The typical value is 17. Most values are close to 17, except 4, which is an
extreme value.

Answer 1

Answer: The statement that correctly describes the data is:

The typical value is 17. Most values are close to 17, except 4, which is an extreme value.

This is because the value 17 appears most frequently in the data set, making it the mode or the typical value. The value 4 is an extreme value as it is the minimum value in the data set. The maximum value of 18 is not the typical value because it is not as representative of the overall distribution of ages in the data set as the mode, which is 17.
