Find the mean median and mode of the refrigerator prices shown in the table. Witch measurement might be misleading to describing the average cost of a refrigerator?

Answer:

We need the picture.

Explanation:

Unless the data is skewed (which means there is outliers) then you use mean as the most accurate. If you have a skewed graph or outliers then mean would mislead you to believe prices are higher (if you have high outliers) or low (if you have low outliers). Median is typically very accurate. Mode may be inaccurate if you have a lot of prices in a really high or low value.
