Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midrange is the average of the highest and lowest values in a data set, and therefore the best choice for this question. The mean (A) is the average of all the numbers in a data set, the median (B) is the middle value in a set of data when arranged in numerical order, and the mode (D) is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. None of these measures take into account the extreme values of the data set like the midrange does.
