The article "Snow Cover and Temperature Relationships in North America and Eurasia"t used statistical techniques to relate the amount of snow cover on each continent to average continental temperature. Data presented there included the following ten observations on October snow cover for Eurasia during the years 1970-1979 (in million km2): 6.5 12.0 14.9 10.0 10.7 7.9 21.9 12.5 14.5 9.2 What would you report as a representative, or typical, value of October snow cover for this period, and what prompted your choice? O The mean of this sample because the mean is always the best central measure. The mean of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading median. The median of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading mean. The median of this sample because the median is always the best central measure.
