Question

Quinn mailed four postcards that each cost $0. 25, five letters that each cost $0. 44, two large envelopes that each cost $0. 80, and one small package for $5. 10. Which cost on the list of mailing fees on Quinn’s receipt would skew the mean? the cost of a postcard the cost of a letter the cost of a large envelope the cost of the small package.

Answer 1

The cost of the small package because...

Explanation:

Cost of 1 postcards = $0.25

Cost of 4 postcards = 0.25 x 4 = 1

Cost of 1 letter = $0.44

Cost of 5 letters = 0.44 x 5 = 2.2

Cost of 1 large envelope = $0.80

Cost of 2 large envelopes = 0.80 x 2 - 1.6

Cost of 1 small package =$5.10

Since the cost of small package is highest

So, It will increase the mean

So, the cost of the small package will skew the mean
