Question

the monthly rents (in dollars) paid by 8 people are given below. (note that these are already ordered from least to greatest.) 805, 915, 925, 990, 1080, 1085, 1165. suppose that one of the people moves. his rent changes from $805 to $1045. what happens to the mean and the median?

Answer 1

Mean= the average of all the numbers

Median= the "middle" value in a list of numbers; if no number is solely the "middle" value, (ie, in a list of six values), then the "middle" value is calculated by adding the 3rd and 4th values (in a list of six values) and dividing by 2.

When the list of values changes due to increase, the list of least to greatest values changes from:

805, 915, 925, 990, 1080, 1085, 1165

TO:

915, 925, 990, 1045, 1080, 1085, 1165

There are still 7 values, but the MEAN has changed from 995, TO 1029.29 because we have taken away a smaller value and replaced it with a larger value.

The MEDIAN has changed from 990, TO 1045 because removing the value 805 for a larger value of 1045 has shifted the order of all 7 values.
