What else can I help you with?
The three characteristics that describe a set of numerical data are?
mode, mean and median
What measure of central tendency may not exist for all numeric data sets?
Measurement Scale Best measure of the 'middle' Numerical mode Ordinal Median Interval Symmetrical data- mean skewed data median Ratio Symmetrical data- Mean skewed data median
What is a single number used to describe a set of data mean median mode?
2,5,4,5
Can ypu find the mean and median with data from a histogram?
You can estimate the median and the mean.
What does numerical data mean?
Numerical Data means data consisting of numbers, not categories, such as the heights of students.

When is the mean not a valid statistic to describe a set of data?
The population data may be skewed and thus the mean is not a valid statistic. If mean > median, the data will be skewed to the right. If median > mean, the data is skewed to the left.
Are median and mean always similar?
No, not always. Median is the number that's in the middle of a group of numerical data. Mean is just the average of a set of numbers, which isn't always in the middle.
When might you want to use the median to describe the center of a data set instead of then mean?
You would use the median if the data were very skewed, with extreme values.
What is a single number used to describe a set of data mean median mode?
2,5,4,5
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.
What are the mean median and mode of all 3 columns of data?
To calculate the mean, median, and mode of the three columns of data, you first need to sum the values in each column for the mean, then find the middle value for the median, and identify the most frequently occurring value for the mode. If you provide specific data, I can help you compute these statistics. Without the actual data, I can't give you the numerical results.
Should you use the median or mean to describe a data set if the data are not skewed?
If the data set is not skewed, either the median or the mean can be used to describe it, as they will likely provide similar values. However, the mean is often preferred for its mathematical properties and ease of interpretation, especially in normally distributed data. The median can still be useful if you want to highlight the middle value without the influence of outliers. Ultimately, the choice may depend on the context and specific characteristics of the data.
Advantages and disadvantages of mean in statistics?
MEDIANUse the median to describe the middle of a set of data that does have an outlier.Advantages:• Extreme values (outliers) do not affect the median as strongly as they do the mean.• Useful when comparing sets of data.• It is unique - there is only one answer.Disadvantages:• Not as popular as mean.
What does mean mode and median have in common?
They all describe data set or data sets,hey tell you how far apart they are from each other.
Does all data have a mean median or mode?
No, not all data sets have a mode but all data sets have a mean and median.
