Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The scores shown below were received by four science teams named A, B, C, and D in an examination. Each team reported an “average” of 90. Which of the following is true for the measure of central tendency that was used by the team?A:80, 85, 90, 95, 100B:93, 92, 90, 90, 91C:80, 86, 95, 92, 90D:85, 90, 90, 90, 90

A	Team D used mean
B	Team C used mode
C	Team A used mean
D	Team B used median

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The mean is usually the best measure of central tendency to use when your data distribution is continuous and symmetrical, such as when your data is normally distributed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mean is the most frequently used measure of central tendency because it uses all values in the data set to give you an average.
