Would the mean median or mode represent data best?
It depends on the data and sometimes on what you are trying to show with the data. All of them are indicators of central tendency and have different uses.
What does the mean absolute deviation represent?
how many numbers your data is away from your mean
What measure of center best represents data?
The answer depends on the type of data. The mean or median are useless if the data are qualitative (categoric): only the mode is any use. The median is better than the mean is the data are very skewed.
What is the best way to organize data?
Mathematical data can be best organized in numerical order. By doing this, statistics are more easily found, such as mean, median, and mode.
Which measure of central tendency best describes the data set without an outlier?
The mean may be a good measure but not if the data distribution is very skewed.
