wo1f0mon:

i think b

wo1f0mon:

no

wo1f0mon:

wait

22west:

dont guess

wo1f0mon:

not a fo shure

22west:

give a legit answer and explain why you think it is that answer

psirockin2:

60 68 68 76 *80 84* 90 90 90 92 94 100 Median becomes 82 it was originally 90 Average becomes 82.666666666667 So either B or C Idk

Ultrilliam:

76, 100, 94, 90, 68, 90, 80, 92, 84 first lets sort this list 68, 76, 80, 84, 90, 90, 92, 94, 100 that makes the median 90, now lets add the other numbers, 60, 68, 68, 76, 80, 84, 90, 90, 92, 94, 100 that makes the median 84. now lets calculate the means of both (68+76+80+84+90+90+92+94+100)/9=86 (60+68+68+76+80+84+90+90+92+94+100)/11=82

Ultrilliam:

so both numbers went down.

Ultrilliam:

and they also got closer together.

Ultrilliam:

so C: The mean and median get closer together.
