Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median represents the middle value in a data set. In this case, $8000 represents the value at which half of the automobiles have a resale value below it and half of the automobiles have a resale value above it. The mean and mode do not necessarily represent this middle value in the same way. The concept of meridian is not relevant to this scenario.
