well the way of doing this is calculate the mean and median of the data set and then calculate it again with the added number and see what changes

i dont get it

the mean is 6.8 of the original. then when you add 75 to the set of numbers the mean becomes 16.5

the median is 8 and when you add 75 the median becomes 10
