Selling prices of homes is classic for being skewed.
That means, one should look at I and II
Waiting times are usually skewed and teacher salary certainly is because of experience and type of course taught.
Fuel efficiency of compact cars might be, but that tends to be high and not too much variability.
I would use 4. I, II, and III.
