Question

question 1 1 pts when discussing incomes, it is often a better representation of \whats typical\ to use ______ income rather than the \mean\ or average because the midpoint of earners is not as skewed by a few people at the very top of the income scale making exponentially more money than everyone else.
○ average
○ median
○ real
○ moderate

Explanation:

To determine the correct term, we analyze the context. The mean (average) can be skewed by extreme values (like very high incomes of a few). The median is the middle value when data is ordered, so it's less affected by outliers. "Real" income refers to inflation - adjusted income, and "moderate" is not a statistical measure for central tendency. So the term that represents the midpoint of earners and is not skewed by extreme values is median.

Answer:

B. median
