You are responsible for planning the parking needed for a new 256-unit apartment complex and you’re told to base the needs on the statistic “average number of vehicles per household is 1.9.”

b. Explain why “1.9” cannot be the median, the mode, or the midrange for the variable “number of vehicles.”
c. If the owner wants parking that will accommodate 90% of all the tenants who own vehicles, how many spaces must you plan for?
