Step 1

The mean is the sum of all the values divided by the number of values. So, we add up all the prices and divide by 10 (since there are 10 houses). \[Mean = \frac{300,000 + 2,495,000 + 2,120,000 + 220,000 + 194,000 + 391,000 + 315,000 + 330,000 + 435,000 + Show more…

Key Concepts

Mean

The mean is a measure of central tendency calculated by adding all the values together and then dividing by the number of values. It represents the arithmetic average of the dataset and provides an overall summary of the data in terms of a single value.

Median

The median is the middle value of a dataset when the numbers are arranged in order from smallest to largest. For datasets with an even number of observations, it is defined as the average of the two middle numbers, making it less sensitive to extreme values compared to the mean.

Mode

The mode is the value or values that appear most frequently in a dataset. It is useful for identifying the most common or popular value within the data and can be used for both numerical and categorical variables.
