Final answer:

The value could be decreased by any amount without affecting the value of the sample median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value could be decreased by any amount without affecting the value of the sample median. The sample median is the middle value of a set of data when arranged in ascending or descending order. Decreasing the values in the set would not affect the position of the middle value, thus keeping the sample median the same.
