Respuesta :

a.

The data set shows the prices for houses.

Looking at the values, they lie near to the same value.

In this case, we can summarize the prices with the mean or median.

b. The survey was made to find how many names of brands of soft drinks they know. In this case, is important to know which soft drinks are the most popular.

Hence, the measure that gives the most frequently mentioned brand is the mode.

c. Kira has received many emails per day.

The emails also lie near to the same value except for the number of 85.

Where 85 represents an outlier (a value in a data set that is very different).

When we have outliers is better to use the median.
