According to prompt 80% of h are at 325 or less, what if 1600h valued 324.9$ or 1600h valued 325$ other 400h valued 300$

Since question must be true, C cannot be correct answer

none of the other 400 houses can be valued at $300000 because those valuation is already included in less than or equal to 325000 other 400 houses must have valuation greater than 325000 as such c must be correct

B and C both are correct

80% of 2000 -->1600 homes <=325000

Remaining homes= 2000-1600
=400

Median : (1000, 1001 Location values)/2
which will be atmost 325000

So 0,8 * 2000 = 1600 values evaluated at at least 325 000
So 400 are greater than 325 000 C must be true

Since we have 1600 houses at 325 000 or less and 400 at more than 325 000




I donot think your assumption is wright- can you plz explain how you assumed the remaing 400 houses have values more than 325000. As nothing is mentioned about the remaining 400 houses


It is mentioned in the question. 80% are valued at 325k$ or less, therefore the remaining 20% (400 homes) must be valued at a higher price than 325k$.

how we can say that option B is must be true ???? we knew that 1600 houses at 325 000 or less , but we dont know about the 1000th and 1001th term maybe they are 325 000 or more less than 325 000 (like just 100,000 or less than it )
can you please explain it

All are correct...A,B,C
A. at most means........all 1600 homes valued at 325k......then average at most will be same
B.Median as well follows the same scenario if all valued at 325k...
note : we are taking at most case here
C.400 at most should be greater than 325 k

The mean is not at most 325,000, b/c we can always have an outlier. For example a house worth 3 trillion dolllars would end up giving us a mean of more than 325,000 because the mean would explode just for that one house that is worth a crazy amount.
