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?

Good! I say A or C! I tell you why because your median is perfect! Its right there in the center, don't need to touch it! So i am more in Favor for C. A could be it but outlier is more numbers and from the way you have it, you don't have a another column of numbers!
