Consider a data set of 15 distinct measurements with mean A and median B. (a) If the highest number were increased, what would be the effect on the median and mean? Explain. The mean would remain the same while the median would increase. Both the mean and median would increase. Both the mean and median would remain the same. The mean would increase while the median would remain the same. (b) If the highest number were decreased to a value still larger than B, what would be the effect on the median and mean? The mean would decrease while the median would remain the same. Both the mean and median would decrease. Both the mean and median would remain the same. The mean would remain the same while the median would decrease. (c) If the highest number were decreased to a value smaller than B, what would be the effect on the median and mean? The mean would decrease while the median would remain the same. Both the mean and median would decrease. Both the mean and median would remain the same. The mean would remain the same while the median would decrease.
