Question

Diego is a wildlife researcher. They were analyzing the mean and median lengths of 9 whales their team had observed. The whales all had different lengths between 23m and 27m.

Diego found out that they were misreading the shortest length. It was actually 20m not 23m.

How will this length decreasing affect the mean and median?

an

Answer 1

The mean and median will both decrease since the new smallest length of 20m is lower than the mean and median of the original lengths (which were between 23m and 27m). The extent of the decrease will depend on the value of the other lengths.

Answer 2

WOW... it was wrong.. :( :(
