Test II. Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, explain why.

5. In a data set, the mode will always be unique.
6. The range and midrange are both measures of variation.
7. One disadvantage of the median is that it is not unique.

measure is called _____________________.

distribution is ________________ skewed.
22. An extremely high or extremely low data value is called a(n) _________.
