Question

The line plot (shown in the attached image) shows the prices of sunglasses at a department store.

Answer 1

a. The median is 70, the mode is 60, and the mean is 70.8.

b. Mean best captures the data.

c. When there are outliers, the mean might be a deceptive center measure.

Calculating the Mean, Median, and Mode

Mean: Total number of sunglasses / total quantity of pries

Mean = (20 + 20 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 100 + 100 + 130) / 25

Mean = 70.8

Median is equal to the (n/2 + 1)th term.

The number of sunglasses in this case is n.

(25/2 + 1)th term as the median

Median = 13th term

Median is 70

Mode is  the most frequent data

Therefore, mode = 70

Why is mean the most appropriate central measure ?

The mean is often the ideal measure of central tendency to use when your data distribution is continuous and symmetrical, such as when your data are normally distributed. So, mean here denotes the typical cost of the sunglasses.
