Average: Mean, Median, or Mode?
In 1982, the Modern Day Almanac made these claims about the "average American":
- The average man is 5 feet 9 inches tall, while the average woman is 5 feet 3.6 inches tall
- One out of every three households owns a dog, one out of every eight owns a cat, and one out of every ten owns both
Project Do a survey in your community and see if these "averages" still hold.
