Explanation / Answer

Mean: Avearage of all variables

Median: Middle most number

Mode: Most repeated number

a) All variables are unique. So, no mode

b) Mean: (10+136+255)/ 3 =166.6667

Median: (n+1)/2 th term= 2nd term= 136

Mean affected by large value. So, median is better than mean. Data is numeric and continuous and it cannot be qualitative.

Option D.
