Consider repair costs for cars involved in different types of accidents. Suppose that in one study seven different 2009 models of mini and micro-cars wore driven at 6 mph straight into a fixed barrier. The following table gives the cost of repairing damage to the bumper for each of the seven models Model Repair Cost Smart Fortwo $1,480 Chevrolet Aveo $1,072 Mini Cooper $2,293 Toyota Yaris $1,687 Honda Fit $1,124 Hyundai Accent $3,475 Kla Rlo $3,699 (a) Calcutate the value of the median for this data set. Interpret the value of the median for this data set. and indicates that half the repair costs are less than or wqual to s and the remaining half are greater The median repair cost for this data set is s than or equal tos (b) Explain why the median is preferable to the mean for describing center in this situation. The medan is preferable to the mean because the distribution of repair costs isSlac- Consider repair costs for cars involved in different types of accidents.
