UNIT 2 — MILESTONE 2
2 questions were answered incorrectly.

In which of these cases should the median be used?
When the data has small variance
When data has no outliers
When the data has extreme values
When the data has nominal values
RATIONALE
Since the mean uses the actual values in the data, it is most affected by outliers and skewness. So, we only want to use the mean when the data is symmetric as a measure
of centrality. When the data is skewed or has extreme values,
the median is a better measure since it is not as sensitive to these values.

Consider the times (in seconds) that it took children and adults to solve a Rubik’s cube at a competition.
,What does the circled section represent?
21 children completed the Rubik's cube in 7 minutes.
One child solved the Rubik's cube in 21.7 seconds.
One child took 72 seconds to solve the Rubik's cube, while another took 71 seconds to solve it.
21 children completed the Rubik's cube in 7 seconds.
RATIONALE
, If we recall that the stem and leaf can give us the actual values in the dataset, then the circle corresponds to 71 and 72. We can then note that there are 2 children who
solved the Rubik's cube at 71 and 72 seconds.
