Solution
The correct option is A 2
To find the median of the given data set, first, we arrange the data points in ascending order.
0
1
1
2
2
3
4
6
As the given data set is evenly sampled, we take the mean of two middle values.
Here, the two middle values are 2 and 2.
Median
=2+22
=42
=2
∴ The median score of the team is 2.
We can see that, while the team's score can be as high as 6, the team's score is usually around 2.
Hence, for the given data set, the median represents the best measure of central tendency.
