One claims that the average income of all American workers is S74,802; the others say that American workers, on average make only $62,149. Is it possible for both these politicians to be correct? If so, explain how.

Explanation / Answer

Yes, it is possible for both to be right. Because, the central tendancy can be meaured and express as mean, median or mode. So, here, one politician must be speaking about the mean average income and the other must be talking about the median income of American workers.
