Question

Think about a long line of people waiting to buy tickets for a concert. (Figure A shows a line about 100‐feet long and each dot represents a person in the line.) In some sections of the line people are grouped together very closely, while in other sections of the line people are spread out. How would you describe where the center of the line is?

Answer 1

The center of the line must represent the mean of the given data.

In this case, the line where it should be the mean would be approximately like in Figure B, since it almost divides the data set in two equal parts
