Question

The weights, in pounds, of six rabbits are: 10, 9, 9, 7, 11 and 10. If we add another rabbit that weighs 10 pounds, which measure(s) of central tendency will change?

mean, median and mode

mean and median

median and mode

mean and mode

Answer 1

Riah, not to be offensive, but I'd recommend you first give these questions some thought yourself.

Answer 2

Righto.

Answer 3

The weights of the six rabbits arranged in ascending order are as follows:

7, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11

With a mean of 9.333, a median of 9.5, and a mode of 9 and 10.

If we add an additional rabbit weighting 10 pounds, our list becomes as follows:

7, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11

With a mean of 9.428, a median of 10, and a mode of 10.

Clearly, all three the mean, median, and mode change.

Was that so hard?
