DID U MEAN

Chucky grabbed 12 items in the grocery store that each had a different price and had a mean cost of about $7.41. One of the items was an entire wheel of cheese that cost $39.99. How will removing the wheel of cheese affect the mean and median?

IF SO THEN ANSWER IS

The correct answer is mean would decrease but there will be no noticeable change in median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chucky grabbed 12 items in the grocery store. Mean cost of all the items is $7.41.

Total cost of all the items that Chucky grabbed = $ (12 × 7.41) = $88.92.

One item namely, wheel of cheese costing $39.99 is being removed from all the item Chucky bought.

∴ Price of leftover 11 items = $ (88.92 - 39.99) = $48.93

The new mean of 11 leftover grocery items = $ (  ) = $4.45.

Thus the mean value has decreased from $7.41 to $4.45.

The median whereas will not change as one of the outlier value has been removed.

Thus the median will remain the same.
