A researcher has conducted a study to investigate the relationship between how important a person thinks appearance is and how much they spend on clothes each month. The first variable was 'self- rating of the importance of appearance' measured on a ten point scale (where 1 = not important and 10 = extremely important). The second variable was 'amount of money spent on clothes each month' measured by asking people to estimate to the nearest five pounds how much they spent ina typical month, The results are in the table below: Participant Self-rating s (initials) importance of Amount spent on of clothes each appearance month (Maloti) HP 6 80 EP 8 120 SF 100 PR 110 MS 7 75 JP 4 36 AG 15 BF 50 (a) Describe how an appropriate descriptive statistic could be used with the data in this table.
