A company held six training sessions that had six different total times:
2.7 hr
8.3 hr
3.5 hr
5.1 hr
1.9 hr
12.3 hr
The company wanted to determine the length of a typical training session. Which statistical measure should be used that is less affected by outliers and skewed data?
The standard deviation because it addresses the variance of the data.
The mean because it is the average of a set of data.
The median because it is the middle score for a set of data.
The mode because it is appears most often in a set of data.
