Question

Melanie ran the 400-meter dash six times during track practice. Her times are shown in the table to the left. If she drops her slowest time, which measure of center is affected the most, mean or median? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is only the middle part of the set of numbers (from the smallest number to the biggest.) if the slowest time is 3 or 4 in that set of numbers then well bad luck I guess, but for mean it is all of them added up then divided by 6 ( the amount of numbers) so I would say mean.
