The distribution of home prices in Nirvana is skewed to the left. The median price is 167900. What is the mean?
JamesWinklergp5084
To calculate the mean, you need all of the individual price, add them and divide by the number of prices.
The median is the middle figure when they are ranked.
Example: To simplify, imagine there are 5 homes that have been sold and these figures are in thousands of dollars.
100, 100, 900, 1000, 1500
The Mean = (100+100+900+1000+1500)÷5= 720
The Median is the middle figure which is 900.

Why do you have to order the data to calculate the median but not for the mean?
The median is the middle number of the distribution of data. That is why the data has to be sorted. To find the mean, add up all of the data, and divide by the number of data points. So it is not necessary to sort the data, to find the mean.At the median, half of the data points are greater than that, and half are less than that. Suppose you drove around town and recorded prices of gasoline, and you found the following: 2.75, 2.77, 2.77, 2.79, 2.79, 2.80, 2.99, 3.09, 3.09, 3.17, 3.19. Note that I went ahead and sorted them.The middle price $2.80 is the median. Half of the stations have a price lower than this price, and half of the stations have a price higher than this. Many times, this type of information is more meaningful than the mean price of $2.93.
Which is best to calculate gas bill over 8 years mean or median?
mode, lol, to calculate ur average gas bill add up all pevious prices (over the last 8 years) and divide by the amount of prices u have added up (8). That gives u ur average bill. To find the total cost u just add them up, no median of mean (wtf r u on about) Be carefull though your gas prices are probably increasing ; you are not just more likely to use more gas but also gas prices are rising. Mate, it's not hard, I'm 14 :(
Which jobs use the median?
It is very hard to generalize in this manner. There are times when a set of data is best described by the median. Frequently, both the mean and the median are calculated, and presented. It is not the profession but the characteristics of the data which determines the choice. A tightly controlled experiment, where random effects are small, such as in chemistry or physics would most likely report the mean rather than the median, although both may reported. Remember that median is a robust measure of the center, in that a few numbers which are numerically distant from the normal range will not affect results as much as the numerical average. Frequently, the median home price are stated to avoid unrepresentative (for most of us!) extremely expensive homes. Stating the median salary for a particular group (profession, years of experience, education) would diminish the affects of extreme values. The median income for different countries will not be affected by a very small percentage of the wealthest people in the country. The statistician would report the median when appropriate. For the examples provided, a market analyst involved in housing prices would normally use the median. An economist or financial analyst involved in analyzing salaries or incomes, would also use the median. The list of professions where the data would be more appropriately represented by the median is long. It includes epidemiologists, engineers, astronomers, social workers, and accountants. Even a fisherman, who wants to report how many fish he catches on a "normal day" would use the median.

What are the uses of median?
When someone asks a for an "average" value, that can mean a couple of different things. "Mean," "median," and "mode" are all values that are used to relate what the "center" or "average" of a distribution of values is. Each one has their advantages and disadvantages. The median is the value that divides the distribution exactly into halves - 50% is below it, and 50% above it. The median may not actually occur in the distribution, but it is the "balance point" of the distribution. The main advantage of the median is that it is not affected by outliers as the mean is and the mode can be. In distributions with a clear skew, such as housing prices or wages, using the median provides a much better estimate of what the "average" is.
