## anonymous one year ago How will adding the value 1000 affect the mean and medain of the data set 5, 10, 17, 19, 20? A. The medain increases and the mean stays the same. B. The mean increase and the medain stays the same. C. The mean increases more than the median increases. D. The mean and meadian increases by the same amount.

becuase the mean is almost like the middle numbers if all of them... it will increase? why because for example the mean of 7 and 9 is 8 aka the middle number so the mean of 5, 10, 17, 19, 20 is going to be waaaay higher because 1000 makess the middle number higher... see what i mean

like mean of 5 and 7 is 6 mean of 1 and 4 is 2 the mean of 500 and 1000 is 750..the middle number os the mean of 1 and 5 is 3ish, so the mesn of 1, 5, and 100 maybe...aroung 500ish

5,10,17,19,20,1000 Median is the middle, Which means 17+19=36 36/2=18 Median is 18 But for Mean, $Mean=\frac{5,10,17,19,20,1000}{6}=178.5$

So the answer would be C

Without the 1000, Median would be 17 and Mean would be much smaller

Yup

Thanks for the help
