For a person who wants to go into statistics, you should think about it a
bit more. The reason for the skew in the distribution is readily apparent:
More people have the lower priced calculators and most people will respond
that their favorite calculator is the one they own so the responses are
heavily weighted toward the low-to-mid range priced calculators.
