Q:

How would adding a score of 0 to this data affect the mean and median game score?

Accepted Solution

A:
Solution:We are given with a set of data 60,70,80,80,100.we have been asked to find How would adding a score of 0 to this data affect the mean and median game score?As we know that The mean is the sum of total number of numbers divided by the number of numbers.while wwe find mean by just arranging the number in increasing or decreasing order. Then choose the middle one as median if total number of data in the data set is odd, but if total number number of data in the data set id even then we find the average of middle two.So obiviously outlier is going to have bigger   impact on mean rather than median.Since 0  is a outlier here. The mean score will decrease more than the median.
