A wireless phone service provider advertises that their average startup fee is $73. Given that their startup fees are $8, $85, $92, and $107, why is this statistic misleading?

The reason why it is statisticaly misleading is because, while it is true that the average fee is $73 (the median value in statistical terms), averages are a statistical measure that is very sensitive to extreme values.

That is to say, if a value is very high, or very low, the statistical mean will be biased.

We can see this in the question. Three values are higher than the average, and relatively close: $85, $92, and $107. The third value, however, is way lower, at only $8. This extreme low value alters the median value, making it biased and misleading.

due to the changes the federal reserve is making the unused reserves will impact the economy by them facing inflation. inflation is definfed as the increase in pricing of a good or service but the decline of the value of money used for purchasing those items. when the economy has a high inflation rate, they are subject to money loss and hurt on the economy.
