  1. One semester, a statistics professor gave six tests to the class. In an effort to get the students to apply what they have learned in their statistics classes, they are told that the final course grade for each student will be based on one of the three central tendency measurements of their choice (mean, median, or mode). Below are the six test scores for three of the students. Which method would you suggest that each one choose (assuming higher percentage is better)?
