SOLUTION: 0.10, 1.25, 1.50, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.00, 2.00, 2.00, 2.00 Which measure of central tendency will give the highest price? A.mean B.median C.mode D.Range

The MEAN is the ordinary AVERAGE that you learned in 
elementary school.



------------------------------------------------------

The MEDIAN with an odd number of numbers = the middle 
number when numbers are arranged smallest to largest 
or largest to smallest.

The MEDIAN with an even number of numbers = the average 
of the two middle numbers when numbers are arranged 
smallest to largest or largest to smallest.

There are 10 numbers, and 10 is even, so we use the 
second rule and average the two numbers in the middle 
which are 1.75 and 2.00.



Think of the fact that the MEDIAN of a highway is right in the middle.

----------------------------------------

The MODE is the number which occurs the MOST number of times.
(Remember that by the fact that "MODE" and "MOST" both begin with
an "MO" and have 4 letters.

2.00 occurs the MOST number of times so 



----------------------------------------

The RANGE = Largest Data Value - Smallest Data Value

So 



----------------------------------------

So the MODE is the largest price with $2.00
