When the Mode is Better Than the
Mean
1) When is “mode” the
better measure?
Think about what you have learned
and how you can relate it to your profession, your daily life, or a realistic
hypothetical situation.
2) Then, create (invent) a
realistic small dataset that can be best described by mode and poorly described
by mean.
3) List the dataset.
4) What does the mode tell us
about the data?
5) Why is the mean a poor measure
for this data?
