Marguerite wants to convince her parents to raise her monthly allowance. She decided to take a quick poll of her five best friends to see what they receive for their allowance. Here are the results:

1. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for her friends' allowances.

   Help (a):

   Refer to the solution to problem 1-40 for help on finding the mean, median, and mode.

2. Her current allowance is $$30.00$. Which measure of central tendency should she use to get her allowance increased? Why?

   Hint (b):

   If she wants to get her allowance increased, she has to give her parents the measure of central tendency that is higher than the allowance she currently makes.
