Look at this set of 9 numbers:21,44,17,53,97,80,56,63,91How would the mean change if the number 90 replaced the number 63 in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Q. Look at this set of 9 numbers:21,44,17,53,97,80,56,63,91How would the mean change if the number 90 replaced the number 63 in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Calculate Original Mean: Step 1: Calculate the original mean of the set.Original set: 21,44,17,53,97,80,56,63,91Sum of original set = 21+44+17+53+97+80+56+63+91=522Number of elements = 9Original mean = 522/9=58
Calculate New Mean: Step 2: Calculate the new mean after replacing 63 with 90.New set: 21,44,17,53,97,80,56,90,91Sum of new set = 21+44+17+53+97+80+56+90+91=549Number of elements = 9New mean = 549/9=61
Compare Means: Step 3: Compare the original mean and the new mean.Original mean = 58New mean = 61Since 61 > 58, the mean increases.
