A. The mean is less than the median.

B. The mean and the median is the same.

C. The mean is greater than the mode.

D. The mean is greater than the median.

Statistics exist in the analysis of collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data or into discipline to collect and summarize the data.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. The mean is less than the median.

<h3>What are statistics?</h3>

Statistics exist in the analysis of collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data or into discipline to collect and summarize the data.

Half the students scored 87.

The next highest score exists at 71.

Then the median will be (71+ 87) / 2 = 79

A few students scored 52, so the mean exists a little lower than the mean of 71 and 87.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. The mean is less than the median.

Bryce tried to solve an equation step by step. \qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&amp;=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&amp;
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3

Explanation

Given the steps taken by bryce as shown, we are to find where he made an error

\qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&=3c+\dfrac53&\green{\text{Step } 1}\\\\ \\ 1&=3c&\blue{\text{Step } 2}\\\\ \\ \dfrac13&=c&\purple{\text{Step } 3}\\\\ \end{aligned}

Given the expression;

\dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\

Step 1:Expand the bracket using the distributive law;

8/3 = 3c + 3(5/3)

<em>Simplify</em>

8/3 = 3c + 15/3

Step 2: Subtract 15/3 from both sides

8/3 - 15/3 = 3c+15/3-15/3

(8-15)/3 = 3c

-7/3 = 3c

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 1/3

-7/3 * 1/3 = 3c * 1/3

-7/9 = c

Swap

c = -7/9

From the calculation, we can see that Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3 thereby making his solution incorrect
