This isn't really hard. You just need to calculate the mean. This is the same as calculating the average. Sum all the amounts, then divide by the number of amounts.

Looking at your prices, it looks like you have an outlier. An outlier can significantly alter the mean - i.e., an extremely high value can distort the mean by pulling it higher if the rest of the amounts are low in comparison. Just the same, a very low outlier can bring down the mean if the rest are relatively high. So, what do you think? She calculated the mean to be $81,500, and many of the amounts are much lower than that. There is a very high outlier that is bringing up the mean. So, is that misleading? You tell me.

Well, there are 16 low incomes, and 4 high ones. I think the answer is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The mean is actually $81,553.75, so the answer is not A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
