You can put this solution on YOUR website! 135 158 163 165 168 172 174 183 183 185 186 188 192 193 195
A) 2640/15=176 WHICH IS THE MEAN/AVERAGE.
B) THE MIDDLE NUMBER IS 183 FOR THE MEDIAN.
THE MEAN IS THE NUMERIC AVERAGE OF ALL SCORES WHILE THE MEDIAN IS AN ARBITRARY
NUMBER IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL NUMBERS WHEN ARRANGED SEQUENCIALLY. tHEREFORE THE
MEAN/AVERAGE IS A BETTER INDICATOR OF THESE NUMBERS.
