1. **State the problem:** Maya wants to describe typical home values in her neighborhood using statistics that are not greatly affected by extreme values (outliers).
2. **Important concepts:**
- The **mean** is the average and is sensitive to extreme values.
- The **median** is the middle value and is resistant to extreme values.
- The **IQR (Interquartile Range)** measures the spread of the middle 50% of data and is also resistant to outliers.
- The **MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation)** measures average distance from the mean and can be influenced by outliers.
3. **Given data shape:** The dot plot shows a right-skewed distribution with several high outliers.
4. **Conclusion:** Because the distribution is skewed with outliers, the median and IQR are better to describe typical home values as they are not affected much by extreme values.
**Final answer:** Maya should use the median and IQR to describe typical home values in her neighborhood.
