QUESTIONS
A recent homicide in a Southern town involved a woman who killed her preacher husband. As jury selection began, her
lawyer polled people in the community and found that attitudes toward domestic violence as a defense for this homicide
had two points of maximum frequency, indicating that many people strongly oppose it and many people strongly
support it. Which measure of central tendency are you likely to use for the purpose of characterizing public attitudes in
this Southern town toward domestic violence as a defense?
