Question 850060: A sample of 168 residents were asked how much they spent on lottery tickets. 108 spent $0, while the mean expenditure for the remaining residents was $19. The largest expenditure was $235. What is the median of the data? Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a good problem. They are trying to trick you. If you had 168 residents, then the median would be somewhere between 84 and 85th term. Guess what, if 108 of them are 0, then the 84th and 85th are 0 too. Thus our median is $0.
