E Click the lcon to view the data table. (a) Determine the mean CO2 emissions of the top 10 countrios The mean CO2 emissions i housand metric tons (Type an intager or a decimal.) (b) Explain why the total emissions of a country is likely not the best gauge of co2 amissions; instead, the emissions per capita (eons divided by population size) is the bether gauge. Choose the cormect answer below O A. The emissions per capita is betler because it does not adjust emissions for population size O B. The emissions per capita is beter because it is smaller O C. The emissions per capita is better because it adjusts emissions for population size (e) Determine the mean and median per capita CO2 emissions of the top 10 countries.

Option (C) is correct.
(c)
Mean per capita emission is 2.864.
Median in this case : 5th + 6th value / 2
Median = 2.67+2.67/2 = 2.67
(b) Mean should be chosen as the value is greater.
