In a group of 12 students, the mean age is 16, the
median age is 16.5, and the mode is 17. You are going to approach one of the students and
guess his or her age. Which measure do you think is the most accurate indicator of the age
of the person you approach? Write a short essay persuading a reader that your choice is
the best indicator; be sure to indicate why your choice is better than the other two.
