If the value 0 was added to dataset 1, which measures of center would stay the same?
Dataset 1: (9,4,12,44,21,7,11,10,10,9,4,12,10,4,12,44,21,9)
Dataset 2 with the added value: (9,4,12,44,21,7,11,10,10,9,4,12,10,4,12,44,21,9,0)
Option #1: The median and mean will be the same.
Option #2: The median and mode will be the same.
Option #3: The mean and mode will be the same.

Option #
is the correct answer.
Option #1: The median and mean will be the same.
Option #1: The median and mean will be the same.
When a value of 0 is added to Dataset 1, the median and mean will stay the same. This is because the value of 0 does not have a significant impact on the central tendency of the dataset. The median, which is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending order, will remain the same since adding 0 does not affect the position of the other values. Similarly, the mean, which is the average of all the values, will also stay the same because the addition of 0 does not significantly change the total sum of the dataset.
