Answer:
The answer is C. median and mode.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to ensure that the list of the set of data is from least to greatest: 66, 68, 72, 74, 74, 78, 80
.
The mean = (66 + 68 + 72 + 74 + 74 + 78 + 80) ÷ 7 = 512 ÷ 7 = 73.14
. (Note that the mean is not equal to 74.)
The median = middle number when the set of data is listed in order from least to greatest = the fourth number = 74.
The mode = the temperature that occurred the most = 74
.
These results prove that the median and mode best describe what 74 represents in the data set, because they are the same value.
