Mean or Median?????????????????
Hi, so this was one of my questions on my homework and would like to check if it was right.
So the question was something like this: "Jackie's test scores in one week were 80,90,100,20 and 95. Which would be a fairer representation of her scores, the median or the mean? I chose the mean but then found out that the median was higher than the mean. I don't know what to do. I need answers ASAP. Thanks!

The mean(or the average) is the total of all of jackie's scores divided by the amount of scores she has. The median is the one in the middle when put in order. The median would be 90 and the mean would be 77. I think you are right as the mean is the average.
