Q3. In measuring the center of the data from a skewed distribution, the median would be preferred over the mean for most purposes because: (choose an answer)
a. the median is the most frequent number while the mean is most likely
b. the mean may be too heavily in?uenced by the larger observations and this gives too high an indication of the center
c. the median is less than the mean and smaller numbers are always appropriate for the center
d. the mean measures the spread in the data
e. the median measures the arithmetic average of the data excluding outliers.
Q4. Suppose a random sample of 100 12-year-old boys were chosen and the heights of these 100 boys recorded. The sample mean height is 64 inches, and the sample standard deviation is 5 inches.

a. 63 to 65 inches.
b. 39 to 89 inches.
c. 54 to 74 inches.
d. 59 to 69 inches.
e. Cannot be determined from the information given.
