Provide the appropriate response.9, 10, 9, 11, 8, 14, 310Which average, mean or median, would better represent the above list of numbers and why?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The median would be the better average because 310 is so much larger than the rest of the numbers. 310 will greatly affect the mean, but it doesn't affect the median. The median 10 is close to the first 6 numbers while the mean is much larger.
