Answer:


A\text{ : Increase}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to deduce the median change

The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle number is a set of numerical observations

Firstly, let us get the previous median

We start by sorting the numbers from bottom to top

We have that as:

121,129,132,145,160,175

Since the count of observations is even, we have the median as the average of the two mid-values

We have that as:


(132+145)/(2)\text{ = 138.5}

Adding the last value, the set becomes

121,129,132,145,160,173,175

In this case, the median value would be 145 which shows an increase in the value of the median
