A friend tells you to apply for a sales job at a certain company because the mean income of salespeople last year was $47,500. Last year, 6 salespeople earned $33,000, 3 earned $46,000, 2 earned $42,000 and 1 earned $150,000. Would you apply for the job based on what your friend says?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Mean is not a good measure of the centre because 150,000 is an outlier

Mode is $33,000

Median is $39,500

[(33000+46000)/2 = 39500]
