The dot plot shows the weekly biking times (in hours). What are the most appropriate measures to describe the center and variation? Find the measures you chose. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. The distribution is
symmetric
. So, the
is the most appropriate measure to describe the center, and the
mean absolute deviation
is the most appropriate measure to describe the variation.

The measure of center of the data is
hours.

The measure of variation of the data is
hours.
