PLEASE HELP!

The average high temperatures in degrees for a city are listed.


58, 61, 71, 77, 91, 100, 105, 102, 95, 82, 66, 57


If a value of 60° is added to the data, how does the median change?

The median would change from “79.5” to “77”, having a difference of “2.5”. The median will decrease.

The median without 60 is 79.5.
With 60 it’s 77 so the median decreases by 2.5.
