Question: Domain names When it comes to Internet domain names, is shorter better? According to one ranking of Web sites in 2012, the top 8 sites (by number of "hits") were google.com, youtube.com, wikipedia.org, yahoo.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, craigslist.org, and facebook.com. These familiar sites certainly have short domain names. The histogram below shows the domain name lengths (in number of letters in the name, not including the extensions .com and .org) for the 500 most popular Web sites.
(a) Estimate the mean and median of the distribution. Explain your method clearly.
(b) If you wanted to argue that shorter domain names were more popular, which measure of center would you choose-the mean or the median? Justify your answer.
