Mitchell is a big coffee fan, so he always takes care of coffee brewing at the office. normally he uses 100 grams of robusta coffee to prepare 10 cups of coffee. his friend brings him a packet of arabica coffee and tells him that he should use 20% more than usual when brewing arabica coffee. how many grams of coffee should he use to make a
15-cup pot of arabica coffee?

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
