You work at a shoe store, and your manager is about to order more shoes. The manager wants you to record the sizes of women’s shoes bought on a particular day to figure out which sizes sell more. You record the sizes of women’s shoes bought on Tuesday:
7.5, 8, 8.5, 7, 9, 8.5, 8, 7.5, 8.5, 6.5, 9.5
Which would best represent the average women’s shoe size?
the mean, because it is 8.05, which is right in the middle
the weighted mean, because each price is weighted equally
the median, because the size of 9.5 is an outlier
the mode, because it is the most common shoe size
the sum, because it gives the total of all the sizes
