State which type of average, the mean, median, or mode, would be most appropriate in the situation described. Explain your thinking.You are considering moving to a new city and would like to know the average price of a new home in that city. Which type of average would be the most useful to you?
What will be an ideal response?
The median. The median gives the center of the data and is not affected by the few unusually high home prices. The median gives a better indication of the "typical" home price than either the mean or the mode.
