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 on the list of mailing fees on Quinn’s receipt that would skew the mean is the cost of the small package.

How does a cost skew the mean?

The cost that will skew the mean is the cost that is an outlier from the rest of the costs.

An outlier cost is one that it either much higher or much lower than the rest of the cost.

The cost that will skew the mean is therefore the cost of the small package which at $5.10 is much higher than the costs.
