Question

Luis's bowling scores were 195, 194, 191, 190, 238, and 192. Which measure (median, mean, mode or range) BEST describes Luis's bowling score? EXPLAIN your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given data is :

195, 194, 191, 190, 238, and 192

Mean = (sum of observations)/(total no. of observations)

`\text{Mean}=(195+194+191+190+238+192)/(6)\\\\=200`

So, the mean is the best measure. Also, w can find median as follows.

arranging in order : 190,191,192, 194, 195,238

Here, n = 6

`\text{Median}=((n)/(2)^(th)+((n)/(2)+1)^(th))/(2)\\\\\text{Median}=((6)/(2)^(th)+((6)/(2)+1)^(th))/(2)\\\\=(3^(th)+4^(th))/(2)\\\\=(192+194)/(2)\\\\=193`

Hence, this is the required solution
