Question

The prices of some houses in a neighborhood are shown below: House Price A $120,000 B $130,000 C $140,000 D $150,000 E $1,110,000 Based on the data, should the mean or the median be used to make an inference about the price of the houses in the neighborhood?

Answer 1

Answer: Median

Step-by-step explanation:

Median, because there is an outlier that affects the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outlier is 1,110,000

As you have learned in the lesson, outliers affect means, meaning that you should not use them.

Answer 2

Answer:

The mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean would allow you to make an average aka the inference about the price of houses whilst if you take the median, you're just taking the middle number from a  list of numbers and not the average.
