Question

Which measure of Center would be most effected if 50 was added to the following data set? 10, 14, 15, 15, 18, 20​

Answer 1

The mean

Explanation:

Because mean is the main measure of center that we solve first before solving the others

Answer 2

The mean.

Explanation:

The mean because 50 is a lot bigger number than the numbers in the list.

The median (the middle number in an ordered list) would still be 15. Also the mode (15) will also stay the same.

The original mean = sum of the 6 numbers divided by 6

= 92/5 = 15.3.

When 50 is added the mean is (92 + 50) / 7 = 20.3.
