Question

The amount of money that college students spend on rent each month is usually between $300 and $600. However, there are a few students who spend $1,300. What measure of spread would be most appropriate to measure the amount of money that college students spend on rent per month?

Answer 1

you shouldn't use the mean because the few who spend $1300 would distort it. That leaves either the median or mode. Which would you use?

Answer 2

the mode

Answer 3

The mode tells you which rent occurs the most. You don't have info that tells you whether that's in the middle or on the ends. The median is a safer measure.

Answer 4

Oh
