Answer 1

Given the chart :

how many jars contained more than 15 candies ?

So, from the graph : more than 15 candies , there are 3 bars

16-20 : 6 jars

21-25 : 4 jars

26-30 : 2 jars

So, the number of jars = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 jars

So, the answer is : 12 jars contained more than 15 candies

B. if a jar with 2 candies was added to the graph

So,

The mean would increase , because the first bar will be 5 jars

so, the sum of the jars will increase by 1, so the mean increase

The answer is : B) the mean would increase
