Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

173 184 195 205 211 215 219 400

These values are skewed to the right ( with the 400) so the median is the best measure.

Mean  is 225,25 and the median is  208.

Answer:225.25 or Mean

Step-by-step explanation: Put the sequence of numbers in order: 173,184,195,205,211,215,219,400

Cross of the end number each side until you have only 2 numbers:205,211

Add these numbers then divide them by 2: 205+211=416 416\2= 208

208 is the median

To find the mean is all of the numbers added together divided by the number of numbers: 173+205+195+215+219+184+211+400=1,802/8+225.25

Now compare the median:208 and the mean:225.25 to the sequence of numbers and see which one best describes the typical number of pages in the books. To do that you can subtract 173 from 400: 227

So the answer that's closest to 227 is 225.25.

I think anyway.
