Answer from: gl648809

The median described the center of the data set.

The following information should be considered:

There are 3 central tendency measures i.e. mean, median, and mode. The mean is the best measure and it is used on regular basis. The median is also the best measure in the case when there should be outliers in the data as the mean gets high impacted by outliers. And, the mode should be preferred at the time when there is the nominal data or ordinal scale.

Therefore we can conclude that the median described the center of the data set.

i think it would be 43 movies that would have to be watched.

step-by-step explanation:

think about it. for the second plan, every month is 8 dollars. 8 x 12= 96. so thats the number for the second plan. now for the first plan, its annual meaning you have to pay 10 dollars every year. so now you have to get an equivalent amount of 86 since 96-10=86. 86 divided by 2 since every movie costs 2$ then you would have to watch 43 movies a year to get the same as the second plan. i really hoped this . have a wonderful day as well!
