The monthly rents for five apartments advertised in a newspaper were $650, $650, $750, $1650, and $850.the mean, median, and mode of the rents to answer the question. Which value best describes the monthlyrents?

SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to get the correct answer
Step 1: Write the monthly rents
[tex]\text{\$}650,\text{\$}650,\text{\$}750,\text{\$}1650,\text{\$}850[/tex]We need to calculate the mean, median and moce of these data to allow us choose the best answer
Step 2: Calculate the mean
a
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{\$}650,\text{\$}650,\text{\$}750,\text{\$}1650,\text{\$}850 \\ \operatorname{mean}=\frac{sum\text{ of monthly rents}}{number\text{ of monthly rents}} \\ \operatorname{mean}=\frac{\text{\$}650+\text{\$}650+\text{\$}750+\text{\$}1650+\text{\$}850}{5}=\frac{4550}{5}=\text{\$}910 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3: Calculate the median
The median is the central number of a data set. Arrange data points from smallest to largest and locate the central number.
[tex]\begin{gathered} By\text{ rearrangement},\text{ we have} \\ \text{\$}650,\text{\$}650,\text{\$}750,\text{\$}850,\text{\$}1650 \\ \operatorname{median}=\text{\$}750 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 4: Calculate the mode
The mode is the number in a data set that occurs most frequently.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{data}=\text{\$}650,\text{\$}650,\text{\$}750,\text{\$}850,\text{\$}1650 \\ \mod e=\text{\$}650 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value that best describe the rents is mean because $910 is the average rent
