Lupe is applying for a summer job. Six employees doing the same work earn $8.00, $8.50, $9.00, $9.50, $10.00, and $21.00 per hour. In the interview, the boss tells Lupe that the average hourly wage is $11.00. Is the boss's statement misleading? Why or why not?


A- No; it best represents the data.
B- Yes; $11.00 doesn't match any of the amounts.
C- Yes; it gives too much influence to the $21.00.
D- No; it's the mean, and shows a wage that is close to what most employees earn.
