Answer:

C. There are about as many houses in Glendale that cost more than $650,000 than less than this amount.

Explanation:

The mean means the average of something . We find the average of anything by the total weight divided by total number.

Average gives us a rough estimate of how much a thing cost or around 50 % of that thing what would be the cost be .

In the given question the best Choice is C as it explains that there are as many houses having more cost than $ 650,000 as many as having less cost than $ 650,000. This is true because an equal number of houses less than or more than $ 650,000 would sum up giving an average or mean of $ 650,000.
