Lesson Quiz: Part 2 Explain why each graph or statistic is misleading 2. A budget area of a used-car lot has five cars on it, with prices of $4200, $4700, $4900, $5200, and $900 (a wrecked one). The car ad in the local paper reads “Average priced car on budget lot is $3980.” The wrecked car’s price brings the average down. Without using the price of the wrecked car, the average price would be $4750.
