5. Using Explore, determine the measures of central tendency and spread for HTH507 (Adult Per Capita Distilled Spirits Consumption 2007). Examine the statistics and box plot, and determine which measures of central tendency and spread are most appropriate. P. 2 Mean Median Standard deviation Range Interquartile Range 0.6 - Circle the measure you would use as the measure of central tendency: Median Mode Circle the measure you would use as the measure of spread: Standard deviation Range IQR Why did you make these selections?

Explanation / Answer

Here the mean and the median are very close to each other so it support the normality assumptions. When the data set is normal or approximately normal then the mean is the best measure of central tendency and the standard deviation is the best measure of spread. The data also in quantative and in ratio level, so mean and standard deviations are the best measures here.
