OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need answer plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the values would be different for both mean and median when 2 is added in the data

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to calculate mean and median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean yes

OpenStudy (tennistar):

Oh wait. Scratch that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold one let me try to solve it

OpenStudy (tennistar):

Since 4 is the median and will be the median after the change, it will stay the same. so your answer would be C. Since the median is the same, yet the mean decreases.
