Median: 183
c) In this case the median number is the most useful representative of the final examination. I
justify it that both median and mode coincide, so they have priority over the mean. Another
explanation could be adding the set of three numbers in the middle: 174 + 183 + 183 = 540/3 =
180. From this we see that the number 180 is closer to 183 than 176 is to 183. So, this should
prove that the median is more useful.
