    5 is more representative than the mode, since it does show that about half make more and half made less

    1 is ignoring the rest of the data completely

      If this was a representative sample the ones would have rebelled already. This is a teaching example.

        Not really, if the 1 is $100,000, should they feel worse than the $500,000 and above?

          The 1 is not 100,000 and you know it.

            Yes, but my point is not everyone should be equal, everyone should have enough money to live

            Those are very different goals

              Did I say we should make everyone live on the exact same income?

              For giggles though if we distributed our GDP equally it would be about 106,000 after the government budget is taken out. And that’s without accounting for not having to pay Medicaid/SSI/SSDI/etc… anymore.
