Q7. Single Correct

To analyse data using mean, median and mode, we need to use the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
The mean is useful for predicting future results when there are no extreme values in the data set. The median may be
more useful than the mean when there are extreme values in the data set as it is not affected by the extreme values.
The median is most commonly quoted figure used to measure property prices as mean property price is affected by a
few expensive properties that are not representative of the general property market. The mode is useful when the
most common item or characteristic of a data set is required. The mode has applications in printing. It is important
to print more of the most popular books.
For a normally distributed sample as shown, then most appropriate representative of data is

(1) Mean (2) Mode

(3) Median (4) any one of mean or median

We have, A = 25, h = 10, N = 50 and ∑ f u i i = 4 .
