Provide the appropriate response.A street has 18 houses on it. The mean value of the houses is $122,000. The median value of the houses is $135,000. Suppose someone builds an $840,000 house at the end of the street. Will the mean or the median increase more? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
The median is more stable. It is the middle value, and it will most likely increase by a relatively small amount. The new house is much more valuable than the rest, so it will bring the mean up substantially, because the total value of all the houses will increase greatly.
