Interpretation
• Average or Arithmetic mean was calculated to find out the average income
which the company gained in past 10 years. The average income was
6,09,580 US $ million. This reveals that the company earned at least 6,09,580
US $ million per year.

• Median tells about the central value of the data set. The median income of
the company was 2014.79 US $ Million. Median is the most important value
as when the data has several values that occur frequently, and several
comparatively very high values. So, it gives company, a clear value of view of
their financial performance.
Conclusion
We conclude that Average and Median are the most suitable statistical
tools to analyse the 10 period secondary data of a company as it doesn’t
get affected by extreme values and is easy to calculate.

It can process and represent large amount of data and give results
accurately. This gives company a fair and clear idea about their financial
performance and facilitates comparison of data. Mode cannot be applied
on this data set because mode refers to the value of data which has the
highest frequency but since no observation was repeating so it cannot be
applied.
