Lisa recorded her earnings for six weeks: $50, $50, $50, $45, $50, $50, $180, $50. Does the mean or the mode best describe Lisa's typical weekly earnings? Explain your answer.

So the mean is 50+50+50+45+50+50+180+50/8 = 65.63
The mode is 50 because it repeats
The mode explains it best because it repeats and it is consistent.
