A researcher calculates the average amount that will be saved by residents of the state. Which average would best convey the amount that will be saved by most residents of the state?

The median. Explanations will vary. Possible answer: The median gives the center of the data and is not affected by the few unusually high salaries. The median gives a better indication of the "typical" amount that will be saved than either the mean or the mode.
