A. Calculate the mean profit for these ten movies for the May 23-25 weekend. Calculate the median profit. Show your work (Don't use the calculator; show the calculations.)

B. Which of the two measures in part A best describes the center of the data? Explain.

A)
For mean, add the values up and divide by 10
B)
Median: put the values in increasing order; then calculate the average of the 5th and the 6th value.
center of data is best described by median since 50% are below it and 50% are above it.

Mean 134.43/10 = 13.443

|Median has 5 entries above and five below so it is between 5.4 and 4.7 at 5.05


Median is the best since the profits are not normally distributed

90.2+4.7+11.4+3+8+2.3+5.6+2.1+5.4+1.73= 134.43 / 10= 13.443 is the mean
