Question

<p>In the United States, health care is not provided by the government.&#160; Individuals - insured or not - typically receive a bill itemizing the cost of a hospital visit.&#160; If you had data from all students in Kansas State on the amount of money spent on overnight stays on the hospital over the past year, the mean would be some positive value, but the median would likely be zero.&#160; Explain why.</p>

Explanation / Answer

As opposed to the mean, the median is the middle value of the sample set. It is likely that most (>50%) of the students didn't spent money on overnight stays on the hospital. Therefore the median will be most likely 0.
