Final answer:

The mean price cannot be calculated using the given data. Therefore, the correct answer is b).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean price of the cars, we need to calculate the average of the given data. The used car prices are not provided in the question, so we cannot calculate the mean price using the given data.

To calculate the mean price of the used cars mentioned in the newspaper, you would add together all the listed prices and divide by the number of cars. Unfortunately, the exact prices are not provided in the question, so we are unable to compute the mean.

The mode of a set of values is the number that appears most frequently. Without specific values, we cannot determine the mode for these car prices.

The median price is the middle value when all prices are listed in ascending order. Again, because specific car prices are not given, we can't calculate the median.

Mean, median, and mode are basic measures of central tendency in statistics but cannot be computed without specific data. Therefore, the correct answer is b).
