Question 602653
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The mean (or average) doesn't tell you anything meaningful about this data.  The mode is a much more meaningful measure of central tendancy in this case, and the mode of this data (4 in Georgia) is going to stick right out when you create your pie chart because Georgia's piece of the pie will be larger than the others.  In contrast to the mean for this data, the mode points to a specific data point where as there is no place that has an "average" number of college professors.
