The athletic departments at 10 randomly selected U. S. universities were asked by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to state what percentage of their nursing scholarships were presently held by women. The responses were 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5. Required:
Find the mean, median, mode, and geometric mean. Which is the most appropriate measure of central tendency? The least appropriate? Explain your answer. Is there an outlier?

Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order,

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers =

Mode = most repeated number = 2    (thrice)

geometric mean =

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.
