Question

Will both the mean and median increase? Just one? Will they decrease?

Thank you! x

Answer 1

Before Suzanne left:

Mean = 53,333

Median = 45,000

After Suzanne left:

Mean = $44,000

Median = $44,000

Explanation:

Since the larger number was taken away the mean and median decreased after she left. The 100,000 is an outlier which basically holds up the mean and median salary.

Answer 2

Decrease Median and Mean

Explanation:

The mean and median will both be decreased because you are removing the largest number value from the number line, logically it must decrease.
