Answer:
Median and Mode.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data could be represented in table form in ascending order as:
Number of meals Frequency
2 2
3 3
4 2
19 1`
On the basis of the data now we find the mean, median and mode:
Mean= average of the data
Mean=\dfrac{2\times 2+3\times 3+4\times 2+19\times 1}{2+3+2+1}=\dfrac{40}{8}=5
Hence mean is 5.
Median is the central tendency of the data
on looking at our data we see that the Median=3.
also the mode of the data is the entry corresponding to the highest entry.
Hence the highest frequency is 3 and the corresponding value is 3.
Hence, Mode=3
Hence, the most appropriate measure of center for this situation is :
Median and Mode.
