Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: The center of this data is 2.Step-by-step explanation:Since we have given thatThe data shows the number of Taylor's basketball team:[tex]2, 0, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4, 0, 3, 2[/tex]We need to find the center of this data.As we know that "Median" gives the middle value of the data, So, it is known as "Center of this data".1) First we write it in ascending order:[tex]0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,4[/tex]2) Count the number of terms :n=10Since n is even.3) As we know the formula for even number of data:[tex]Me=\frac{\frac{n}{2}+({\frac{n}{2}+1)}}{2}\\\\Me=\frac{\frac{10}{2}+({\frac{10}{2}+)}}{2}\\\\Me=\frac{5^{th}+6^{th}}{2}\\\\Me=\frac{2+2}{2}\\\\Me=\frac{4}{2}\\\\Me=2[/tex]Hence, The center of this data is 2.
