A National Survey Showed That Most Commuter Cars Contain Only

question 10

Essay

A national survey showed that most commuter cars contain only the driver. Hungry for a story, a campus newspaper reporter asked five randomly chosen commuter students how many occupants, including the driver, rode to school in their cars. Their responses were 1, 1, 1, 1, and 6. The next day a story appeared in the paper headlined "University Commuters Double National Average Ridership." Is this a reasonable assessment of central tendency? How would you characterize the variability of the sample?
