Answer:

 The measure of center would this student want his teacher to use is the

median[tex] = {\bf 75} [/tex]

Mean[tex] = {\bf 5} [/tex]  ,  Mode[tex] ={\bf 82} [/tex]  , Range[tex]={\bf40} [/tex]  and   Interquartile Range[tex] = {\bf 32} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data set[tex] = 50,55,70,75,82,82,90 [/tex]

Number of elements in data set[tex] = 7 [/tex]

To find Mean

The ‘Mean” is the average of a set of numbers.

The "Mean" is computed by adding all of the numbers in the data together and dividing by the number  of elements contained in the data set.

Mean[tex] = \frac{50 +55 +70 + 75 + 82 + 82 + 90} {7 } [/tex]

Mean[tex] = \frac{504}{7} [/tex]

Mean[tex] = 5 [/tex]

Median

The “Median” is the middle value of a set of ordered numbers.

Therefore Median[tex] =75 [/tex]

Mode

The "Mode" for a set of data is the value that occurs most often.

It is not uncommon for a data set to have more than one mode. This happens when two or more  elements occur with equal frequency in the data set.

Therefore Mode[tex] =82 [/tex]

Range

The "Range" is the difference between the largest value and smallest value in a set of data.

Range[tex]= 90-50 [/tex]

Range[tex]= 40 [/tex]

Interquartile Range

The “Interquartile Range” is the difference between smallest value and the largest value of the middle  50% of a set of data.

The "Interquartile Range" is from Q1 to Q3:

To find the interquartile range of a set of data:

The cut the list into four equal parts

. The quartiles are the “cuts”

The interquartile range is the distance between the two middle sets of data

Interquartile Range[tex] = Q_3-Q_1[/tex]

Interquartile Range[tex] = 82-50[/tex]

Interquartile Range[tex] = 32[/tex]
