(Measures of Center) Is the pace of life slower in smaller cities?

• Does it take less time to get to work in smaller cities? Here are the travel times in
minutes for 15 workers in North Carolina, chosen at random by the Census Bureau along with a dotplot of the data:

30 20 10 40 25 20 10 60 15 40 5 30 12 10 10
•••
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60

Travel time to work (minutes)

1. Find the median

The median is __A__

About __B__ of the travel times are less than the median and about __C__
are greater.

2. Calculate the mean travel time.

The mean of __D__
is the __E__
travel time to work.

3. Which measure of center - the median or the mean - describes the typical travel time to work for this sample of workers in North Carolina.

The __F__ best describes the typical travel time to work because the distribution is skewed right.
