Question

Liam works at a zoo. He was looking at some data showing the masses of their

Answer 1

Median won't change, however Mean will fall by 180.

What do mean and median?

By summing all the numbers in a data collection and dividing by the total number of values in the set, one may get the mean (average) of the data set. When a data collection is sorted from least to largest, the median represents the midpoint value.

African elephants total 555 in number.

Elephants had a 3800 kg average mass.

Elephants had a 3600 kg median mass.

Lola, the elephant that was the smallest, weighed 2700 kg.

Later, Lola became really ill and lost a lot of weight, reaching a mass of 1800 kg.

What effect will Lola's weight loss have on the mean and median as well as Currently, the median is 3600 and the lowest is 2700.

now 2700 becomes 1800

so Median remains the same as 3600

No change in Median

The mean mass of the elephants was  3800 kg

=> total weight = 5 x 3800 = 19000 kg

2700 kg becomes 1800 kg

Hence new total mass = 19000 - 2700 + 1800 = 181000 kg

New Mean = 18100/5   = 3620  kg

Mean reduced by 3800 - 3620  = 180 kg

No change in Median weight

Mean reduced by 180 kg
